Mt. Princeton, one of the Collegiate Peaks, is the 14,197 ft scenic backdrop to Buena Vista, CO.
It rises abruptly from the Arkansas Valley, making for a dramatic vista. Coming from Denver or Colorado Springs on Hwy 285, Mt. Princeton explodes into
view - have your camera ready.
We drove to treeline before starting the hike - most of the early hike on rocky, but easy to navigate trails. As you look at the picture, coming at the summit
from left to right, you find a lot a scrambling over rocks - sometimes loose rock. The view from the summit makes it all worthwhile.
