Colorado Centennial 13'ers
The San Juan region is host to some of Colorado's most inspiring Centennial 13'ers. What is a Centennial 13'er? In addition to the 54 14'ers, there are 46 13'ers that round out the 100 highest peaks in the state of Colorado. Some of the best climbs in the state appear on the Centennial 13'er list - a fine accomplishment for any climber, mountaineer, or backpacker!
Below is a list of the Centennial 13'er climbs that we offer in the Weminuche Wilderness and other regions throughout the San Juan Mountains:
- Vestal Peak via the Wham Ridge
- Jagged Mountain via the North Face
- Pigeon Peak via the East Ridge & Turret Peak via the NW Slopes
- Vermillion Peak in Ice Lakes Basin
- Jupiter Mountain in Chicago Basin
