Snowmass Peak
2 Day Summit Climb (14,092')

Offering the unique ability to alpine climb on snow for most of the summer, Snowmass Peak is an ideal setting for the "new-to-snow 14'er climber".

Perched above breathtaking Snowmass Lake, this peak experience offers a true backcountry adventure with a remote feel of being far away from civilization. Climbing from the lake, next to a 1,000' waterfall, through a boulder field, across snowfields and steeper slopes, attaining a rocky ridge and steep ledges to the summit - Snowmass Peak truly offers it all.
