About

Marble Mountain is a summit in Saguache County, Colorado, inside the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness on the San Carlos Ranger District of the Pike and San Isabel National Forests. The Forest Service manages the land, and the nearest town is Crestone, about 9 miles away. As a wilderness peak, this summit sits within some of the most protected ground in the national forest system, and its route is the main reason to come. Sand Creek Basin and South Colony are both within about a mile and a half, with Broken Hand Pass a little farther. For an overnight base, Alvarado Campground lies about 9 miles away.
