Mummy Range View of the Mummy RangeCountry United States State Colorado County Larimer Part of Front Range, Rocky Mountains Highest point Hagues Peak [1] - elevation 13,560 ft (4,133 m) - coordinates 40°29′N 105°39′W / 40.483°N 105.65°W The Mummy Range (elevation approximately 13,000 ft) is a mountain range in the Rocky Mountains of northern Colorado in the United States. The range is a short subrange of the Front Range located in southwestern Larimer County northwest of the town of Estes Park. It is located largely within Rocky Mountain National Park, extending north from Trail Ridge Road approximately 15 miles (24 km).
Prominent peaks in the range include Hagues Peak, Ypsilon Mountain and Mummy Mountain. These peaks are easily accessible via the Lawn Lake trail leading to "the Saddle" between Hagues Peak and Fairchild Mountain and, on the southwestern end, the Chapin Pass trail from the Fall River road. Some offer reasonably challenging technical routes but all can be ascended by walking and mild scrambling after snowmelt.
