| A nice walk-up...the views are extroardinary and compensate for the lack of climbing challenges...a nice centralized perch in the San Juans of Colorado! | |

| SarahThompson | With American & Niagara from American Basin Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2006 | |
| Climbed American, Jones & Niagara solo from American Basin while my friend climbed Handies. Jones was a special peak for me - my 100th Colorado 13er! I recommend using Burns Gulch to collect these 3 peaks unless you've got some other reason to be in American Basin like I did. The climb from the basin up to American is a nasty scree nighmare when dry, but its doable. | |

| chicagotransplant | American Pie Date Climbed: Oct 27, 2007 | |
| Traversed over from American on the way to Niagara, basically followed Gerry Roach's "American Pie" route from his 13ers book. Surprisingly not much snow on the south sides of these peaks, almost no need for gaitors even! | |

| JonBradford | Route Climbed: East Ridge via "American Peak" Date Climbed: September 1, 2002 | |
| Jones Mountain was a fun and scenic summit. On the Labor Day weekened I spent in Snare Gulch I saw no one else... but the crowds on Handies Peak were evident from the summit of "American Peak". The Traverse between "American" and Jones was a lot of fun... it offered many oportunities to peer down "American's" couliors at blue Sloans Lake. By the time the time we reached Jones Mountains summit a storm which had built uo in the west was fast approaching so we (myself and my two dogs, Sopris and Raymond) beat a hasty retreat. This is a mountain I would go back to... Jon Bradford | |
