Vermilion Peak

Vermilion Peak is a Class 2+ summit included in a sequence of multiple summits: Beattie, Fuller and Golden Horn.

Vermilion Peak is the tallest of a series of high, rugged thirteeners that surround this scenic location. Named for the reddish/orange tinge that the peak takes on, Vermilion provides an amazing view when looking at it from the south. When the sun hits it right, the peak appears to almost glow of red and orange (Vermilion means "flame-red").

Many people choose to backpack into Ice Lakes Basin, this way being able to incorporate climbs of Golden Horn, Pilot Knob, US Grant Peak, or Fuller Peak, the other high thirteeners in the area.
