Electric Pass Peak (Elk Range, CO; 13,635')



Officially known as Unnamed 13,635, this minor summit just north of Cathedral Peak is easily accessible in summer from the trail that crosses Electric Pass. With snow cover in place it's a more serious objective. It can be approached from either Cathedral Lake or American Lake.
