Pettingell Peak is a 13,559-foot summit on Colorado’s Front Range and the Continental Divide, about 8.3 miles southwest of Berthoud Pass. Straddling the boundary between Roosevelt National Forest in Clear Creek County and Arapaho National Forest in Grand County, it is the highest point in Grand County. Its high position gives it notable geographic prominence and broad alpine views, while its nearness to the Denver metropolitan area has made it a popular destination for hiking and skiing. The peak was named for Jake N. Pettingell, a law student who moved to Grand County in 1880 and later served as a county judge for 18 years.
