Colorado Fourteeners, 14,000 Foot Peaks

Colorado Fourteeners

Map Weather Yellow Pages Bookmark Send to Friend Print

The Colorado's Fourteeners are peaks that exceed 14,000 feet in height.

Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks offer the hiker and mountaineer one of the finest arrays of alpine challenges in the Rocky Mountains. You can be in Vail, and then in the heart of Colorado's fourteener country in a few hours, indeed, from any of Colorado's metropolitan areas. The peaks' proximity to population centers make them even more precious.

There is a lifetime of adventure waiting for you in Colorado's mountains. Climbing fourteeners has become increasingly popular in recent years, and the challenge of climbing all the fourteeners captures many people.

Besides the often-climbed standard routes up Pikes Peak and Mount Evans, there are many alternative routes and several technical routes. Most of the routes on Colorado's fourteeners are walk-ups (Class 1, Class 2, Easy Snow), but there are many wonderful scrambles (Class 3, Moderate Snow) and technical climbs (Class 4, Class 5, Steep Snow) on these peaks. Many of these beautiful routes have never been adequately described before.

Most climbers on Colorado's fourteeners climb the standard routes and they are becoming crowded. However, you can still spend days climbing fourteeners and never see another person. Climbing is dangerous, and each individual should approach these peaks with caution. Conditions can vary tremendously depending on the time of day and time of year.
