Huron Peak, Sawatch Range:14,003 ft.

Huron Peak is a summit along the North Ridge from the Clear Creek trailhead of the Sawatch Mountain Range. Huron Peak is a Class 2 with Mild Exposure, climbing must be more careful and concentrated very close to the route with fewer route options. Class 2 is a bit more difficult hiking than class 1, and some hiking may be off the trail.


The round trip hike to the summit and back to the trailhead is 6.75 miles, 11 miles if you hike up the entire road from Winfield. Access to the trailhead is moderately difficult, and closed near 9,200 feet in the winter.
The total elevation gain is 3,500 feet and the summit elevation is 14,003 feet. The trailhead is near Winfield at Clear Creek and begins at 10,560 feet.
