Description Suggest change

This is the most visible 14er from the Telluride area. It is a peak so picturesque that Coors chose it as their logo mountain. The standard route and easiest descent follows the southwest ridge from Silver Pick Basin or Navajo Basin. The North face is the common ski descent route. Like the other peaks in the area, the rock is loose. Exercise caution, especially around or under others.

Getting There Suggest change

All trailheads are accessed off of HI145 to the southwest of Telluride.
