Colorado Mines Peak 12,497 Feet. Colorado Winter Day Hike

Join me on this relatively short but incredible day hike up to the summit of Colorado Mines Peak at 12,497 feet! This hike is 4.5 miles round trip with about 1,600 feet of total elevation gain! The hike begins at Berthoud Pass and is all part of the CDT. At the summit you get amazing views of all the surrounding peaks including four 14ers and you can see all the interesting structures built up there for the weather station which is owned by the Colorado School of Mines! Enjoy!

    There isn’t that much snow on top. I guess the wind blows it off.
