\"La Plata\" is Spanish for \"The Silver\", a reference to the many silver deposits in the area. The nearby ghost towns of Winfield and Hamilton were prominent silver mining towns in the early part of the 20th century. A Hayden Survey team first climbed the peak on July 26, 1873.
The elevation of 14,361 feet marked on the USGS Mount Elbert Quadrangle is incorrect, and should read 14,336 feet (in the NGVD 29 vertical datum).There's a demanding alpine trail (T5) called La Plata Peak Ellingwood Ridge leading to the summit.
