Whiteley Peak
Whiteley Peak
Whiteley Peak, elevation 10,092 ft (3,076 m), is a mountain in Grand County, Colorado north of Kremmling and close to U.S. Highway 40. The mountain is in the Rabbit Ears Range, a range composed chiefly of volcanic rock, and Whiteley Peak has some columnar jointing near the top.[3]
Whiteley Peak has been called "one of the most prominent landmarks in northwestern Middle Park."[4] Its crest lies about 2,200 feet (670 m) above the nearby Muddy Creek, and the southwest face of the peak is marked by precipitous cliffs.[4]
Climbing
A narrow strip of privately-owned land encircles the peak, preventing public access for climbing.[3]
