Ptarmigan Peak | Summit County, Colorado

Ptarmigan Peak Trail begins by climbing the hillside through an open meadow with sagebrush and wildflowers in June. Beyond the meadow, the trail winds through an aspen grove and a thick forest of evergreens that briefly obscure views yet give a sense of remoteness. The final stretch to the summit climbs along a grassy ridge where elk herds are often found grazing. On this trail you'll find views of Gorge Range, Ten Mile Range, Dillon Reservoir, and the lower Blue River Valley.
