At 13,433 feet, Grizzly Peak offers an alpine experience without the crowds of a 14er. The mountain rests on a ridge of 13,000 foot peaks just north of the 14ers Grays and Torreys Peaks. When you get to the top, you can see deep into Arapaho National Forest over an alpine lake down in the basin below.

Torreys Peak is just around the corner from Grays Peak – so you can summit two of the 58 peaks that exceed 14,000 feet in one hike. The view from the summit is exceptionally beautiful. Keep an eye on the weather, though. Thunderstorms are likely to occur in the afternoon during the summer months.

Grays Peak is one of Colorado's famous 14ers and one of the easier ones to summit. If you hike along the iconic Continental Divide Trail (stretching from Mexico to Canada), this mountain is directly on your route. As with all mountains in this area: Keep an eye on the weather. Thunderstorms in the afternoon are very likely during the summer months, so start your hike early. And since you are already here: With Torreys Peak, there is another 14er just around the corner.

Crystal Peak reaches up to 13,852 feet and one of the southernmost peaks in the Tenmile Range. There are a few glacial lakes below the summit that add to the alpine views. The route to the top is rocky and trying and feels a lot like a 14er without the trail maintenance and the crowds. All in all, summiting Crystal Peak can be a tough and rewarding experience.

Traveling to the top of Peak Eight, the Imperial chair lift at Breckenridge Ski Resort is the highest chairlift in North America. It tops out at 12,840 feet, which is over 1,000 feet above treeline. The summit sees snow for much of the year, but it is an exposed talus field in the summer months.

Reaching up to 12,805 feet, Peak One marks the beginning of the true ridge scramble across the Tenmile Range. Many people choose to come up to this summit from the town of Frisco and then just return to town, but others tackle this peak and many others as they work their way along the ridge to the town of Breckenridge. This ridge traverse should only be attempted if you have serious mountain experience.
