+ About this map
Crestone Peak rises to 14,300 feet in Colorado’s Sangre de Cristo Range, the highest of the Crestones and one of the last fourteeners in the state to be climbed. It is a mountain of steep conglomerate rock, and its standard route climbs the long couloir of the Red Gully on the south face. From most angles it presents itself alongside the Needle as a pair of sharp, close-set summits.
This map traces the rugged core of the Crestone group. The contour lines converge on the twin summits of Peak and Needle, joined by a narrow, notched ridgeline, with steep faces dropping to Cottonwood Creek on the south and toward the South Colony Lakes on the east. The elevation on this sheet spans nearly 4,500 feet, from about 9,800 feet in the lower valleys to the summit, and the widest spacing appears only in the valley floors at the edges.
