Mount Lindsey is a high mountain summit on the Sierra Blanca Massif in the Sangre de Cristo Range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. The 14048 ft fourteener is located in the Sangre de Cristo Land Grant, 17.4 km north (bearing 358°) of the community of Fort Garland in Costilla County, Colorado, United States.

Mountain

The summit and most of the southern flank of the mountain are privately held. After an injured cyclist won a verdict against the Air Force Academy for $7.3 Million, the owners closed the summit to public access. The owners have promised to reopen the summit once the Colorado Legislature closes the gap in the Colorado Recreational Use Statute that permits landowner liability when the landowner fails to warn about known dangers. In 1954, the name was changed to honor Malcolm Lindsey, a beloved chaperone for the Juniors of the Colorado Mountain Club in the 1940s. Previously the mountain had been known as Old Baldy.
