Overview

The Mount White Trail is unique in that the entire trail is above timberline. If you love elevation and being in the center of several 14ers and 13ers, this area will not disappoint! The views along the entire route are amazing and perfect for photographing several major Central Colorado Peaks. As you travel toward Mount White (13,667'), to the north, you have Mount Antero (14,275'), to the south are Mount Shavano (14,232') and Mount Tabeguache (14,163'), and to the west is Cronin Peak (13,877'). As you come to the end of the trail the views into the Arkansas River Valley are equally impressive. Mount White is a nice addition to the Mount Antero Trail, making for a full-day adventure.
