Overview
The San Juan mountain range is a vast area in Colorado that consists of many great skiing peaks over 14,000 feet including Handies Peak, Mount Sneffels, Mount Wilson and Uncompahgre Peak. The mountains are rugged and steep with long approaches and perhaps best engaged in the spring when the days are longer and the snowpack is more consolidated.
