Mount Bierstadt

Mount Bierstadt is a Colorado summit inside the Mount Evans Wilderness, part of the South Platte Ranger District of the Pike and San Isabel National Forests. The Forest Service manages the surrounding land, and the nearest town is Silver Plume, about 8 miles away. Because the peak sits within designated wilderness, trips here fall under the rules that govern the Mount Evans Wilderness, and planning should start with the ranger district that oversees it. Several other destinations lie close by. The Sawtooth Ridge Traverse begins about 0.1 mile away, and the Mt. Bierstadt hike is roughly 1.5 miles off. For overnight stays, Guanella Pass Campground is about 3 miles away and Geneva Park Campground is about 5 miles away.
