The Collegiate Peaks (or Collegiate Range
) is a name given to a section of the
Sawatch Range of the
Rocky Mountains located in central
Colorado. Drainages to the east include headwaters of the
Arkansas River.
The Collegiate Peaks include some of the highest mountains in the Rockies. The section is so named because several of the mountains are named for prominent universities.
