Blanca Peak is a very menacing, 14350 ft summit, in Sangre de Cristo Wilderness. Reaching the peak is usually combined with a trip via Ellingwood Point, as the summits are close to one another. The trail to Blanca Peak is highest and less technical than Ellingwood. Some alpine hiking experience is required to get to this summit.
