+ About this map
Mount Bierstadt stands at 14,065 feet in Colorado’s Front Range, named for Albert Bierstadt, the painter whose canvases introduced much of America to the Rocky Mountains. The standard route begins at Guanella Pass, already above 11,000 feet, which makes this one of the most accessible and most climbed fourteeners in the state. For many Colorado hikers it is the first summit over 14,000 feet they ever reach.
The map shows the contrast that defines the mountain. Contour lines spread gently across the broad western slopes above the willow flats of Scott Gomer Creek, then compress sharply along the Sawtooth, the serrated ridge that connects Bierstadt to Mount Blue Sky. Below that ridge the lines carve out the deep glacial cirque holding Abyss Lake, a reminder that even the friendliest fourteener keeps rough country on its far side.
