A brief summary to Tenmile Range Peak 1
- Colorado, US
Local tips
- Start early to avoid afternoon thunderstorms, which are common in the Colorado high country.
- Bring plenty of water and snacks, as the hike is strenuous and there are no water sources along the trail.
- Wear sturdy hiking boots and layers of clothing, as the weather can change quickly at high altitudes.
- Be prepared for a non-technical scramble near the summit, and watch out for falling rocks.
- Check trail conditions and closures before heading out, especially during the spring and early summer when snow may still be present.
