Peak Summary

Teocalli Mountain is an easy Class 2 ascent in the eastern portion of the Elk Mountains. Access is most easily gained from near Crested Butte, but 4WD/good clearance is needed to keep this in the "day hike" range. The drive in on 4WD road is fairly long requiring close to an hour. The surrounding scenery is verdant and wildflowers proliferate around here. Lidar added 5 feet of elevation.
