It’s a great name. The mountain is actually named after an Icelandic volcano, Snæfellsjökull, but got a shortened version probably for ease of pronunciation.

And that volcano is famous from being featured in Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth

You should climb it. It’s got arguably the best view of any mountain in Colorado.

That is great. Views of Dallas and teakettle and then all the way out to the Handies and uncompaghre area and Wilson group etc.

But I would like to nominate pyramid peak or snowmass as mountains with dank ass views.

While it's highly accessible it's also one of the most sketchy hikes I have ever done. So much loose rock and too many people. I'm shocked more people don't die in the two main gulleys
