Summit 2026 – Mount Sneffels - South Slopes

All participants and leaders are REQUIRED to sign the State of Colorado's liability waiver. Please click here to fill out the waiver.

Participants will register for their preferred 14er through the Colorado Mountain Club website, where they will be placed on a waitlist for their chosen peak (you may join more than one waitlist). From there, trip leaders will reach out to gather more information about each participant's experience level and interests. For trips where the waitlist exceeds the allotted group size, participants will be selected by lottery.

*The trip leader should designate if there is camping beforehand, and if there is trailhead camping, inform them. Otherwise, include a link to the trailhead and meeting time. 

Our starting point will be at the closest 2WD-accessible parking area, the junction of Yankee Boy Basin Road (853.1B) and Governor Basin Road (853.1C). Here are the coordinates: 37.979315°N 107.759°W. There is no camping in the immediate vicinity of the trailhead, so we will plan to meet at the parking area at 5am on August 1. We will aim to begin hiking by 5:30am at the latest. 

(The Thistledown and Angel Creek Campgrounds are along the road to access Yankee Boy Basin Rd. They do require a fee.)
