The Red Feather Lakes area west of Fort Collins is known for pristine lakes and granite domes. Fishing, hunting, hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking are the most common forms of recreation. Climbers have been exploring the Red Feather Lakes region since the mid-'70s. The area has a variety of bouldering, trad, and bolt-protected routes. In November of 2022, Bennett Scott/Fixed Pin released the first comprehensive guidebook to the area. Intrigued about the area, I purchased one.
The first (and only so far) time I climbed at Red Feather Lakes was in spring 2024. We had a decent day, but were getting oriented with the area, and feel as if I need to come back to get a better impression of what the area has to offer. Camping opportunities seem good.
On this page, I give photos from climbing at Red Feather Lakes, organized by date. At the bottom of the page, I keep a list of the climbs I've done at Red Feather Lakes.
