La Plata Peak is located in Sawatch Range. Its name means "silver" peak in Spanish, after silver deposits were discovered in early 20th century.
First Trail starts from the north side, along Independence Highway I-82 and follows the northern ridge which divides La Plata basin from La Plata Gulch. Second Trail starts in Winfield, to the south of the peak and leads through a marshy basin and up a headwall.

Notes:
• A hike of 4hours uphill by many... but pretty views along the way so that it took me 9hours and still i didn't reach the top at 6pm. (In addition to stopping often to catch my breath.) And walking down a mountain without a trail - not a good idea. Merging in the dark with a trail in the woods - not a good idea. 15 hour hiking day, last 6hours without water, lost bushwacking through river-bushes in the dark for 1.5 hours -- can't wait to go back, really - next time I will make other mistakes, not same ones.
