About Castle Peak
Castle Peak towers at 14,274 feet (4,351 m) as the highest summit of the Elk Mountains. True to its name, the peak features castle-like rock formations near its summit.

History
The peak was named for its distinctive castle-like appearance. Located in the heart of the Elk Mountains, it sits in one of Colorado's most scenic and rugged mountain ranges. The area saw limited mining activity compared to other ranges due to its remote nature.
