The state of Colorado actually has four other Grizzly Peaks and one Grizzly Mountain on record.

The trail to Grizzly Peak, which allows hikers to reach the summit of the mountain by foot, is accessible immediately off of a parking lot at Loveland Pass on U.S. Highway 6.[4][9] The trailhead begins above the treeline at about Шаблон:Convert and rises to the peak, but reaching the summit does not necessarily require the use of extra mountain climbing equipment such as ropes.[4] Visitors can also reach Mount Sniktau, a smaller peak, from the same point along Loveland Pass.[9]

From the summit, hikers can see Loveland Pass below them, plus views of nearby Chihuahua Lake and the Arapahoe Basin ski trails.[4]
