Collegiate Peaks

The Collegiate Peaks are a stunning mountain range in central Colorado, featuring towering 14,000-foot summits, glacier-carved valleys, and expansive alpine meadows. This rugged range is part of the Sawatch Range, one of the highest and most prominent mountain systems in the state. The Collegiate Peaks are characterized by steep, rocky terrain with numerous cirques, glaciers, and talus fields. The range gets its name from the distinct collegiate-style names of its major peaks, such as Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.
