Red Peak - 13,215' , Hoosier Ridge - 13,352' and Red Mountain - 13,229'

Today I climbed three mountains which are prominent on the Breckenridge skyline. Red Mountain, Hoosier Ridge and Red Peak are three thirteeners just south of town on the continental divide. The mountains are very different than the peaks in the Tenmile Range. They are much less rocky and more dirt covered (red dirt in fact, which probably gives the mountains their names). It was an interesting hike. I started at Boreas Pass and made a bit of a loop to bag the three peaks. These mountains are not heavily traveled (summit registers went back to the mid-90s with probably 50-100 people since then), but they provide great views of the Tenmile range and Breckenridge. It was an interesting hike, although I had to hurry at the end to avoid rapidly changing weather.
