It is in the elite group of Colorado's 100 highest "centennial" mountains, all of which stand 13,800 feet (4,200 m) or higher.

Nearby peaks

Hagerman stands 0.6 miles (0.97 km) from Snowmass Peak; from Snowmass Lake which is about 1 mile (1.6 km) east, Snowmass Peak appears higher than Hagerman—this is forced perspective. Snowmass Peak is the end of the east ridge of Hagerman as it descends 0.4 miles (0.64 km) below Hagerman's summit. [5]

Also nearby are Capitol Peak, [6] and Clark Peak. [7] It is also close to Buckskin Pass [8] [9] and Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak. [10]
