About Quandary Peak
Quandary Peak stands at 14,272 feet (4,350 m) as the highest summit of the Tenmile Range and one of Colorado's most popular 14ers. Located near the ski town of Breckenridge, it offers convenient access and a well-maintained trail. The peak is a favorite winter ascent, and its summit provides outstanding views of the Blue River valley and surrounding ranges.
History
The origin of the name 'Quandary' is debated, possibly referring to a quandary faced by early miners or surveyors. The peak has become increasingly popular due to its proximity to Breckenridge and relatively straightforward routes, seeing thousands of ascents each year.
