Pettingell Peak

Via Herman Lake Route. Pettingell Peak is a 13,559-foot mountain summit on the Continental Divide. 8.75 miles/ 3,300 ft. Max Elevation Gain: 13559 ft. 13er Rank in CO: 164 of 584

Pettingell Peak has one of the best summit views on the Front Range. It is just high and north enough that it provides a massive panorama including Rocky Mountain National Park, the west side of the Indian Peaks, Grays and Torreys, the Ten Mile Range, the Gore Range, and the Flat Tops. Pettingell Peak straddles the Divide between Roosevelt National Forest in Clear Creek County and Arapaho National Forest in Grand County. This is a fun Class 2 route, albeit a bit loose in places. Dogs must be kept on a leash.
