Tenmile Range

The Tenmile Range is located south of Frisco on the Royal Mtn Trail and over Mt. Victoria to the steep north ridge of Peak 1 (12,796'). Travel is in trees and above tree-line. Some of the trails have gravel and there maybe a little class 3 scramble. Must have favorable weather to go. Expect fantastic views of the Tenmile and Gore Ranges.

Peak 2 (Tenmile Peak): 10.6 miles, 4,200 feet of elevation gain

Beautiful views once you gain this ridge line over looking Dillon Reservoir. This loop hike/scramble near Frisco begins on CR 1002 (CalTopo) and then west on the Peaks trail to the Mount Royal trail. Follow the Mount Royal trail to Mount Victoria, here the trail becomes less well defined. Peak 1 and Peak 2 lie ahead. Follow on the Miners trail to return to your vehicle. (this hike can be shortened if you take the Mason Town trail cut off). 

Peak 9 via Sky Chutes and Wheeler Trail: 9.7 miles, 3471' of elevation gain

The hike to the top of Peak 9 begins on trail, then goes off trail with some easy scrambling on the top. The hike passes through the "Sky Chutes" and offers great views of the Tenmile range.

The hike begins at Wheeler Junction, parking in the open area by the Conoco station just off of Colorado 91 heading south. After 2.9 miles, the Colorado Trail heads north, continue on the Wheeler Trail to near the saddle between Peak 8 and Peak 9. Just before the saddle, head off-trail towards Peak 9. There is some easy scrambling along the ridge to Peak 9.
