Carbonate Mountain, Mountain summit in Chaffee County, Colorado, United States.
Carbonate Mountain rises to 13,670 feet in elevation within the southern Sawatch Range of the Rocky Mountains, featuring exposed rock formations and alpine tundra.
The mountain received its name during the 1800s mining period due to the presence of carbonate minerals in the surrounding geological formations.
Local climbing communities regularly document their ascents of Carbonate Mountain as part of the Colorado 13ers collection, contributing to mountain climbing records.
Access to Carbonate Mountain requires a 4x4 vehicle to reach Baldwin Creek Trailhead at 9,540 feet, followed by a 2.1-mile hike to the summit.
The mountain's position offers views of multiple drainage basins, including both the Rio Grande and Gulf of Mexico watershed systems.
