Hagerman Peak is a mountain in the Elk Mountains of Colorado. It rises to 13,841 feet (4,219 meters) with a prominence of 347 feet. The peak lies in Gunnison and Pitkin counties. It was named for Percy Hagerman, who, with Henry Clark, was the first to climb it in 1907. Hagerman is one of Colorado’s 100 highest summits, all at least 13,800 feet tall. The peak sits about 0.6 miles (0.97 km) from Snowmass Peak; from Snowmass Lake (about 1 mile to the east) Snowmass Peak can look higher due to perspective. Snowmass Peak forms the eastern end of the ridge that runs from Hagerman and drops about 0.4 miles (0.64 km) to Hagerman’s summit. Nearby peaks include Capitol Peak, Clark Peak, and Maroon Peak, as well as North Maroon Peak and Buckskin Pass. The area is on the USGS Snowmass Peak topo map.
