Missouri Mountain - Summit climb via NW ridge from Missouri Gulch TH, with maps & route description.

Join me as I climb this rugged 14er in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness. Missouri Mountain is the lowest in the group of Sawatch Range 14ers that includes Mt. Belford & Mt. Oxford, but it is the most interesting to climb. My trip takes me first up and through serene Missouri Gulch, and finishes with an airy and challenging high ridge traverse.
