    Tips

    July 21, 2023

    At 12,968 feet, Engineer Mountain doesn't quite qualify as a Colorado 13er. That being said, it is one of the most unique and fun mountains in the San Juans. The ridge up to the summit involves some class 2 and class 3 moves, but the route is clear and easy to follow. This is a great route to introduce someone to class 3 travel, and you are not lacking any views once you reach the summit.
