Tenmile Range

The Tenmile Range is a prominent subrange of the Rocky Mountains located in central Colorado between Frisco and Leadville, offering dramatic alpine scenery and diverse recreation opportunities for all skill levels. This range features numerous peaks exceeding 13,000 feet, with several 14,000-foot summits that attract peak baggers and alpine hikers. The range is characterized by exposed ridgelines, cirque lakes, and steep north-facing slopes that retain snow well into summer, creating excellent skiing and snowboarding terrain both in-bounds at nearby resorts and in the backcountry. The Tenmile Range draws outdoor enthusiasts year-round, from summer hikers and climbers exploring the high peaks to winter backcountry skiers seeking fresh powder and spring mountaineers tackling alpine climbing objectives.
