    -Mt. Sniktau-

    13er: #3

    Elevation: 13,234 ft.

    Date Hiked: 11-17-2006

    Trip Report:
    Mt. Sniktau is a short ways off of Colorado’s continental divide above Loveland Pass. This is an easy hike any time of year. In the winter it is particularly enjoyable because the access is easy and views excellent. The round trip distance is only slightly more than 3 miles starting from Loveland Pass.
