+ About this map
Blanca Peak rises to 14,351 feet at the southern end of Colorado’s Sangre de Cristo Range, the fourth-highest summit in the state and the highest of the Sangres. To the Navajo it is Sisnaajiní, the sacred mountain of the east, one of the four peaks that bound the traditional homeland. It stands over the San Luis Valley with Little Bear Peak and Ellingwood Point clustered around it on the same massif.
This map traces a compact knot of high summits. The contour lines gather into tight, angular bands around Blanca, Ellingwood and Little Bear, with the glacial trough of the Lake Como basin cutting in from the west. Sharp ridgelines link the three peaks, and the terrain falls away in every direction. The elevation on this sheet runs from about 10,800 feet to the 14,351-foot summit, and nearly all of that is steep.
