At 12,285 feet, Deadwood Mountain is one of the most accessible peaks in the La Plata Mountains. Like most of the summits in the range, Deadwood Mountain is approached via an old, rocky mining road. Once you break treeline, the trail tuckers out, and you follow the ridge (with some evidence of a trail/path) to the top.
