About

Shirttail Peak is a summit in Eldorado Canyon State Park in Colorado, about 2 miles from the town of Eldorado Springs. It sits within the state park's boundaries, so visits fall under park management. For the most comfortable weather, aim for late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show June highs around 73°F and September highs near 70°F with lows in the low 40s, while winter highs stay around 40°F. Climbers will find the Shirt Tail Peak climbing area right alongside, about 0.1 mile away. The West Face Redgarden Climbing Access Trail is just as close, and the West Ridge Climbing Access Trail lies about 0.3 mile off. For an overnight stay, Winiger Ridge campground is roughly 4.5 miles away.
