Colony Baldy is a Шаблон:Convert mountain summit in Custer County, Colorado, United States.

Description

Colony Baldy is set in the Sangre de Cristo Range which is a subrange of the Rocky Mountains. It is the seventh-highest summit in Custer County,[1] and the 153rd-highest in Colorado.[2] Colony Baldy can be seen from Highway 69 near the community of Westcliffe. The mountain is located in the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness on land managed by San Isabel National Forest.[3] Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains into tributaries of Grape Creek which in turn is a tributary of the Arkansas River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises Шаблон:Convert above North Colony Creek in 0.8 mile (1.3 km) and Шаблон:Convert above Macey Lake in 0.67 mile (1.1 km). An ascent of the peak involves hiking Шаблон:Convert round-trip with Шаблон:Convert of elevation gain.[4] The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1970 by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[5]
