Ute Peak is a 12,303 foot mountain summit in the Ptarmigan Peak Wilderness north of Silverthorne, Colorado. The peak is above treeline, and the final approach from either side of the ridge is a very faint trail in places (sometimes just following rock cairns). The summit offers 360 degree views of four different wilderness areas.
