Potosi Peak
Potosi Peak is a 13,786-foot-elevation (4,202-meter) mountain summit located in Ouray County of Colorado, United States.[3] It is situated five miles southwest of the community of Ouray, on land managed by Uncompahgre National Forest.[1] Recreation enthusiasts heading for Yankee Boy Basin traverse below the southern base of the mountain.Topographic relief is significant as the southeast aspect rises 4,000 feet (1,200 meters) above the Camp Bird Mine in approximately 1.5 mile.[7] Due to its altitude, it receives precipitation all year, as snow in winter, and as thunderstorms in summer, with a dry period in late spring.
