Name that Mountain

Post by CorduroyCalves »

Looking west to Mt. Evans, what is the peak to the north of that group with the U-shaped patch of snow near the summit? I'd like to climb it soon. Thanks for the info!

Sorta. There's a label for Genese Mountain but there's a peak that rises above it that isn't labeled, and I'm thinking that's the one.

That would be Squaw Mt., off Hwy.105, right next to Chief Mt.

Thought it might be Gray Wolf.
Sounds like you (OP) need to go up there and check it out!

Whatever happened to that guess the peak game we were doing on the forum? We need to resurrect that thread.

LOL, I've actually done it a few times, as well as Chief Mtn. Just looking for other cool front range peaks to hike :)
