Maryland Mountain
About
Maryland Mountain is a summit in Colorado, rising to 9,206 feet about a mile from the town of Black Hawk. It sits close to several mountain biking routes and a climbing area, making it a natural anchor for a day of riding or climbing in the area. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Coal Creek Canyon weather station, at a similar elevation, show July highs around 73°F with lows near 48°F, while winter highs stay in the low 30s. The Ore Chute and Hard Money mountain biking routes both lie about 0.2 miles away, and the Ameristar climbing area is about 0.6 miles off. For an overnight stay, Cold Springs Campground is about 2 miles away.
