Collection: Collegiate Peaks

Five summits. Five legendary names. One unforgettable range. The Collegiate Peaks, a section of the Sawatch Range, rise above the Arkansas River Valley near Buena Vista and Salida, forming one of Colorado's most beloved collections of fourteeners. Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Oxford, and Princeton — named in the 1800s by a survey team from MIT (yes, really) — stand shoulder to shoulder in one of the most scenic and accessible corners of the Rockies. Whether you're an alumni chasing your namesake summit or a peak bagger working through all five, the Collegiates deliver stunning ridgelines, wildflower meadows, and views that make every burning step worth it. This is Colorado fourteening at its most iconic.
