North Pole Peak

North Pole Peak is a 12,208-foot-elevation (3,721-meter) mountain summit located in San Miguel County, Colorado, United States.

North Pole Peak is situated nine miles northwest of the community of Telluride in the Mount Sneffels Wilderness, on land managed by Uncompahgre National Forest.

Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,200 feet (370 meters) above Middle Fork Leopard Creek in 0.3 mile.

The challenging ascent of the peak involves 10 miles of hiking (round-trip) with 1,850-feet of elevation gain to reach the summit block.
