The Tenmile Range is a mountain range in U.S. state of Colorado. The range is an extension of the Mosquito Range which is part of the Rocky Mountains. The two ranges are effectively the same range. They are split only by the Continental Divide and name. The Tenmile Range is on the north side of the divide, and the Mosquito on the south. The range is often referred to as the Tenmile-Mosquito Range. There are more than a dozen peaks in the range. Peak 1 is the northernmost peak. The sub-peaks of Mt. Victoria and Mt. Royal are located north of Peak 1. Tenmile Peak, south of Peak 1, is also known as Peak 2. Quandary Peak is the southernmost peak and highest point in the Range, elevation 14,271 feet. The range is famous for its skiing, both backcountry and resort areas. Breckenridge Ski Resort is in the range. The Tenmile Range includes Pacific Tarn, believed to be the highest named lake in the United States. Approximately 25,000 acre of the Tenmile Range is protected in the Camp Hale – Continental Divide National Monument.
