Mount Bierstadt is a
mountain in the
Front Range region of the
Rocky Mountains, in
Clear Creek County, Colorado. It is one of 54
fourteeners (mountains with peaks over 14,000 ft in elevation) in Colorado. It is located approximately 1.5 miles WSW of
Mount Evans. The nearest major city is
Denver. It was named for
Albert Bierstadt, a popular painter of Colorado's Rockies of the 19th century.
Because it is generally considered an easy climb, along with its accessibility from nearby Denver, Mount Bierstadt is one of the most popular mountains to climb in Colorado. As with most peaks in Colorado, July and August make the best months for climbing Mount Bierstadt.
