Braddock Peak

Braddock Peak is a 11,972-foot summit in the Never Summer Mountains of northern Colorado, within State Forest State Park near Cameron Pass, the Never Summer Wilderness, and Routt National Forest. Once referred to in hiking descriptions as Point 11,960, it later received its current name in honor of Dr. William A. Braddock, a University of Colorado Boulder professor of geological sciences. From 1958 to 1994, Braddock and his students mapped more than 750 square miles of the northern Front Range, including this summit, and he was the principal author of The Geologic Map of Rocky Mountain National Park.
