Palmyra Peak is a 13,319-foot-elevation (4,060 meter) mountain summit located in San Miguel County of southwest Colorado, United States. It is situated four miles south of the town of Telluride, on land managed by Uncompahgre National Forest. It is part of the San Juan Mountains which are a subset of the Rocky Mountains, and is west of the Continental Divide. It is immediately south of Telluride Ski Resort, from which it is a prominent landmark, and Palmyra has the distinction of having the highest inbounds skiing terrain of any North American ski resort. Topographic relief is significant as the north aspect rises 2,300 feet (700 meters) above Prospect Basin in one mile, and the west aspect rises 2,100 feet above Alta Lakes in one-half mile. The mountain's name has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names in association with the Palmyra Mine, a gold and silver mine located at an elevation of 11,650-feet on the peak's western aspect. Other mines on its flanks included Lakeview Mine, Mountain Quail Mine, Roy Johnston mine, and Turkey Creek Mine.
