Torreys Peak Route Map, a Colorado Fourteener
Torreys Peak rises to 14,267 feet along Colorado’s Continental Divide, where Clear Creek and Summit counties meet. Located beside neighboring Grays Peak, Torreys is one of the most recognizable Fourteeners in the Front Range and is frequently climbed on its own or as part of a combination ascent with Grays.
The first recorded ascent was made in 1861 by botanist Charles C. Parry, who named the mountain in honor of fellow botanist John Torrey.
