15+ Mountain Boy Peak Colorado. Its located south of independence pass which serves as the trailhead, so is easily. A 6.5 mile hike with 1900 vertical gain.

12,050’ at independence pass parking lot distance:7 miles roundtrip; Mountain boy peak takes its name from mountain boy park and the gulch just north of the summit. With this year’s crazy snow totals still lingering in colorado’s high country, and independence pass open on june 1st, it was time to head up there and do some skiing.
