This peak is the official start (or finish if beginning in Breckenridge) of the Tenmile Traverse. It is a slight out and back, and considered a class 3 scramble.

At 3200 meters (one gets a little complacent with the summit heights!), Mount Royal isn't the largest or most prominent mountain in the Tenmile Range, but it's impressive! It marks the northern end of the range and towers above I-70 to the east, with Frisco forming the base of the western slope. With a wall height of almost 500 meters, it offers plenty of climbing potential—especially used by locals!
The path to the top is lined with old mines; apparently, in the past, besides Frisco, there was another town on the slopes of this steep mountain: "Masontown" (founded by General Buford in 1866). Gold and silver were mined here and transported to the mint in Denver. Several avalanches completely destroyed the town in 1912, and we can still see the remains today. Near the summit, the mountain doesn't have to fear comparison with other Alpine peaks. Found by chance—as an alternative to the rain—it was worth it!
