Unnamed 13,712ft

UN 13,712  is the high point on a ridge labelled which includes Jones Peak. Drive to the intersection of U.S. 285 and U.S. 50 in Poncha Springs. Go west on U.S. 50 for 6 miles and turn right on County Road (CR) 240. After 3 miles, CR 240 turns to dirt. Continue 0.6 mile to the Angel of Shavano trailhead, campground, here the road turns to 4WD. Continue another 3.8 miles to reach the unmarked trailhead on the right. There's parking for 2 or 3 vehicles but you'll also find some pull-offs. The trailhead signs have been removed. (TH coordinates: N 38.60050, W -106.27888).

Hike up through dense trees on a decent trail. Near 11,200', the trees thin out a bit and the trail reaches a flat area near a small tarn. Turn left , hike past the tarn and continue north along the east side of Jennings Creek. Near 11,700', stay out of the willows by ascending slightly east away from the creek . Ahead is the ridge which connects 13er Carbonate Mountain and Tabegauche Pk. Locate a trail leading up to the ridge and ascend to a small saddle at 12,600-foot saddle. Turn right and follow the ridge east toward Point 13,936', some people choose to bypass the top of Point 13,936' but the best option is to go over the top.
From Point 13,936' and continue east along the ridge. The last section of ridge is the crux of the route to Tabeguache Pk , some route-finding may be required to keep the difficulty at Class 2. From Tabeguache Pk drop to the saddle between it and UN 13,712  there is more rock hopping, to reach the summit , Class 2. (#140).  DESCEND VIA THE SAME ROUTE:
