At 11,396 feet, Mount Lamborn isn't the tallest peak in Gunnison National Forest, but it is one of the best peaks in the foothills to climb. The entire hike up is a pretty steep, sustained grade, but it doesn't take any special maneuvering or alpine experience to nab the summit. From the top, you can see into both the San Juans and the heart of the Elk ranges.

Perhaps the toughest part of the hike is getting your car up the rough 4wd road to the upper trailhead; the lower trailhead is down off of L30 Drive and results in a hike of a little over 14 total miles. Be aware that this trail is a local favorite but not the most maintained trail in the National Forest. Be ready for some overgrowth on the trail and creek crossings.
