Whiteley Peak has been called "one of the most prominent landmarks in northwestern Middle Park."[4] Its crest lies about 2,200 feet (670 m) above the nearby Muddy Creek, and the southwest face of the peak is marked by precipitous cliffs.[4]
Climbing
A narrow strip of privately owned land encircles the peak, preventing public access for climbing.[3]
