Important Notes

Ranked Peaks: Only the 53 numbered peaks are considered “official” because they have at least 300 feet of prominence from any higher peak.
Access: Several of these peaks (like Mount Bross and Culebra Peak) are on private land and may have restricted access or require a fee to climb.
Difficulty: While Mount Elbert is the tallest, it is a Class 1 hike (the easiest grade). Conversely, Capitol Peak and Little Bear Peak are ranked lower in elevation but are among the most dangerous and difficult Class 4 climbs.
