Stewart Peak is a mountain in Colorado, the second highest thirteener (a peak between 13,000 and 13,999 feet in elevation) in the state. It is located in the San Juan Mountains in Saguache County, within the La Garita Wilderness. Stewart Peak is the 55th highest peak in Colorado by most standard definitions, just missing the list of Colorado fourteeners.[1] At one time, the peak's elevation was measured to be over 14,000 ft and it was believed to be a fourteener, but more recent and accurate surveys have dropped it below that threshold.
