Huron Peak is a fourteener in the U.S. state of Colorado. It is located in the central Sawatch Range, west of the Mount Belford group, in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness. It lies in Chaffee County, approximately 18 miles (29 km) northwest of the town of Buena Vista. While relatively close to its neighbor peaks, it is separated from them by deep cols, resulting in a moderately high topographic prominence. Nearby to the south are the Three Apostles, a striking group of three thirteen thousand foot peaks.Louis W.
