Snowdon Peak

Colorado

About

Snowdon Peak is a summit in the Weminuche Wilderness, part of the Columbine Ranger District of the San Juan National Forest in Colorado. The Forest Service manages the land, and the nearest town is Silverton, about 7 miles away. Because the peak sits inside a designated wilderness, trips here fall under wilderness rules for the Weminuche. North Twilight Peak is the closest neighboring hike at about 1.4 miles, and the Crater Lake hike is about 1.6 miles away. For an overnight base, Little Molas Lake Campground and Little Molas Dispersed Campground are both roughly 2.8 miles from the peak.
