Mountain Climbing

There are six 14,000 foot peaks on the GMUG National Forest and 56 thirteen thousand foot peaks. If you would like to "bag" one the GMUG's 14 ers, check out our Special Places. Many of our lesser known 13,000 foot peaks and other mountains on our forest provide a climbing experience with more solitude along with the challenge.
