Fletcher Mountain is one of Colorado highest 100 peaks rising to 13,951 feet. Since it doesn’t break the magical elevation of 14,000 feet, you might have the mountain to yourself. Fletcher Mountain hides behind its much more famous and frequently visited neighbor Quandary Peak. Fletcher Mountain can be approached from a variety of routes from either the west or the east side. For our hike we chose the southeast ridge from the Blue Lakes Trailhead.
