Mt. Sopris is the dominant peak one sees as they drive down Colorado 82 from Glenwood Springs towards Aspen. It is a beautiful peak and offers a great hiking route to the top. 300 feet between the two.
Many climbers take the time to climb both summits.
There are great campsites near the Thomas Lakes for backpackers. A great time to climb Mt. Sopris is late September when the many aspen trees in the area turn colors. Copyright 1999 Peakware. All rights reserved.
