Mount Edwards

13,838 ft

Mount Edwards is a prominent peak located in the Rocky Mountains mountain range. With an elevation of 13,850 feet, it offers breathtaking views and a challenging ascent for mountaineering enthusiasts. This majestic mountain is situated in the Front Range of the Rockies and is easily accessible from the Denver metropolitan area.

During the winter season, Mount Edwards experiences a diverse snowpack range, which varies based on weather conditions and specific years. Snowfall in the area can range from 100 to 200 inches, creating ideal conditions for winter sports such as skiing and snowshoeing. The mountain's snowpack also contributes to the water resources of nearby creeks and rivers, including Clear Creek and Chicago Creek. These waterways benefit from the mountain's runoff, providing a vital source of freshwater for the surrounding ecosystem.

While Mount Edwards may lack a rich history of name origins or specific lore, it holds significance as a challenging and rewarding summit for mountaineers. Its name pays tribute to the renowned American geologist, Arthur Edwards, who conducted extensive research and studies in the Rocky Mountains region. Mount Edwards stands as a testament to the beauty and grandeur of the Rockies, attracting adventurers seeking awe-inspiring views and a thrilling mountaineering experience.
