Bristol Head is located Шаблон:Convert southwest of the community of Creede, on land managed by Rio Grande National Forest. It is situated east of the Continental Divide in the San Juan Mountains which are a subrange of the Rocky Mountains. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into the Rio Grande and topographic relief is significant as the summit rises Шаблон:Convert above the river in three miles (4.8 km) and Шаблон:Convert above Santa Maria Reservoir in 1.2 mile (1.9 km). Access to the summit is via a 15-mile 4WD road which reaches a radio repeater at the top.[1] The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names,[2] and was recorded in publications as early as 1876 since the peak served as a triangulation station for the Wheeler Survey.[3]
