Redcloud Peak is on the 14er list in the San Juan range, just barley making the rank at an elevation of 14,037 feet, or 356.5 meters. It is recommended that the peak only be reached in the summer months, like July or August, so hikers can avoid encountering snow. Even so, during the summer months, it is best to get an early start and plan to be off of Redcloud Peak by 1:00 PM to avoid afternoon storms and the dangers of lightning strikes.
