The Citadel Peak Hike 09/18/2012
This 5.5 mile roundtrip hike of 2,079 vertical feet did not make it to the
summit of The Citadel.  This peak had a formal trail only half the way on Dry
Gulch Trail.  The peak is located north of Loveland Pass near Mt. Bethal.
The Citadel is a formidable
climb with an elevation of
13,294 feet.

requires advanced climbing.
Mt Bethal is south of The
Citadel.  It has a snow fence on
the west slope that everyone
wonders about.
