Greetings all! For the past 7 years I have been climbing 14ers in the July and August timeframe and am well acquainted with the afternoon weather patterns in...
In May you will probably not have the thunderstorms that appear in July and August though it is not always nice. The problem in good years is that the snow has...
There are some what less afternoon thunderstorms in may but usually their is still a lot of snow above 11,000 ft especially in heavy snow year or in ...
Hi Group, Myself and 2 of my friends are going to try and hike up to the Conundrum Hot Springs. Our plan is to hike to the Hot Springs the first day, then hike...

Hi - Is anyone familiar with the Gore Range? I know they're just thirteeners, but I'm planning to pack in and climb Mt. Powell (13,575') and maybe Eagle's...
Gary, I have climbed Powell. It is one of my favorite climbs even though it doesn't quite make 14. It is nicer than a lot of the 14ers, and I have climbed 50...
Van - Thanks! I have the 13er guide and also Ormes' "Guide to the Colorado Mountains". USGS now allows you to print out full-size topo maps for free, so I ...
Gary, I'll be back home in Colorado about Aug 10th. My targets this year are North Maroon, Wilson Peak, and El Diente, but none of my usual climbing partners...
Esmaa, Quandary has one of the best views in Colorado. See how many 14ers you can spot from the top! Have you finished "The Fatherless"? Glad to hear your...
Has anyone hiked this route? I attempted it today and failed miserably. I think the day was doomed from the start. I invited a friend who had never hiked a...
I haven't hiked Huron via Cloyses, but yesterday I did it from Winfield - excellent and easy trail, very straightforward, and I didn't even mind hiking the ...

I have never posted before, but I was interested the fact that no one ever posted photos in this group. Well I got it started off by posting a few of my own....
At one point we had some photos posted - I'm not sure what happened to them. At any rate, there are now 3 albums (14ers, 14er summit pics, and wildlife). I ...
I am planning a trip next summer up to Colorado, planning to hike some of the 14ers, Mt Massive, and others, what is the best month, July or August. info would...
July or August would be fine. Sometimes in a heavy snow year not all of the snow has melted by July, but that hasn't been the case for the past several years....
Also on this topic - July has more daylight hours, which can be a consideration for slower hikers. Both July and August have afternoon thunderstorms, so an ...
Hello I just joined the group and hopefully as a Newbie to this Group I can create some interest in postings. I climbed Elbert via Black Cloud, Longs, Wheeler...

Yesterday I climbed Pikes Peak from the West side. I was not aware of a route on the West side until a couple of days ago, but it was a pretty nice trail....
Last week I took the Cog Railroad up Pikes Peak and had sunny warm weather, and a doughnut. I also hiked up to Chasm Lake on Longs Peak for sunrise, which was...
Hi All, Last weekend, my husband and I (62 and 57 respectively) climbed our first 14er - Quandry Peak. We had planned to go with some others who were familiar...
Hey Vickie, I suggest trekking poles, or a walking stick for the downhill. They make all the difference. I have much more trouble going down the mountain than...
Hi Vicki: This brings back memories as Quandary was my first peak about seven years ago - I've since done twelve more. We live in Baltimore so the change in...
