  • Technical Climbing

The Trinity Peaks, a trio of summits, head the Vestal Creek drainage in Colorado’s Weminuche Wilderness

Join an AMGA certified San Juan Expeditions guide for a guided climb of the stunning Trinity Peaks in Colorado’s Weminuche Wilderness. These three peaks—West Trinity (13,765′), Middle Trinity (13,805′), and East Trinity (13,745′)—rank among Colorado’s highest 200. The Trinities Traverse offers an exhilarating scrambling experience with breathtaking views and challenging route-finding. The peaks, composed of quartzite and slate, feature a mix of solid and loose rock, adding to the adventure. First ascended by the Colorado Mountain Club in 1941, these peaks offer an unforgettable climbing experience.
