Sunlight Peak Summit markers to commemorate your hike!

     Sunlight Peak is a 14,059 ft peak in the Needle Mountains, a subrange of the San Juan Mountains . It is located in the Weminuche Wilderness (part of the San Juan National Forest) in La Plata County approximately 13 miles (21 km) south of Silverton. It ranks 39th among the 14ers of colorado.
      Sunlight Peak is one of three fourteeners in the Needle Mountains; the other two are Mount Eolus and Windom Peak. Windom and Sunlight lie on the east side of Twin Lakes, in upper Chicago Basin, while Eolus lies on the west side. All three peaks are relatively remote by Colorado standards, and have a strong wilderness character; however they can be popular in summer.
      The standard route up Sunlight Peak is from the south, known as the "Red Couloir". It is a non-technical scramble, but achieving the top of the summit block does require an exposed rock climbing move and is considered one of the more difficult climbs of the 14ers in Colorado.
