Bill Couch Mountain
About
Bill Couch Mountain is a summit in Deer Creek Canyon Park in Colorado, about 3.7 miles from the town of Ken Caryl. The station at Evergreen, CO, sits at nearly the same elevation as the summit, and its typical averages point to late spring through early fall as the most comfortable stretch. September typically brings highs in the low 70s and lows around 40, while July is warmer with highs near 81 and more frequent wet days. Meadowlark Trail and Golden Eagle Trail both pass within a few tenths of a mile, and Fireblack Boulder offers climbing about 0.3 miles away. For an overnight stay, Chatfield Campground is roughly 5 miles off.
