Route: East Spanish Peak

The Spanish Peaks are a pair of prominent mountains located in southwestern Colorado. The Ute and Comanche Indians called the mountains Wahatoya which means "Breasts of the Earth". The Spanish Peaks were an important landmark on the Santa Fe Trail, the first glimpse of the Rocky Mountains for travelers.

East Spanish Peak is higher than any point in the United States east of its longitude (12,683 ft).

The lower trail is runnable through the forest which then turns into a "climber's trail" up the talus to the ridge to the summit. The views of the eastern plains, West Spanish Peak, and Little Bear Peak and Blanca Peak, both 14ers, are amazing!
