Here's a list of 10 that are worthy of a visit, from gentle strolls off a paved mountain pass to rugged backcountry adventures. (via thknwco)
Mount Owen is one of the more accessible peaks in the Ruby Range near Crested Butte. There are few moments as lovely as standing atop a mountain you conquered with your own two feet, alone and in awe of the quiet solitude one can find high in the Rocky Mountains.
If your summer hobby is climbing the fourteeners , such solitude can be elusive. More than 500,000 people a year hike one of these 54 mountains, and some, especially on the Front Range, can seem more like a conga line than a wilderness experience. But lower your elevation standards a bit and you may experience peace and quiet that’s becoming more rare on the fourteeners. Colorado has more than 600 thirteeners, many just as challenging and beautiful as the higher peaks.
We’ve put together a list of 10 that are worthy of a visit, from gentle strolls off a paved mountain pass to rugged backcountry adventures, arranged in order of difficulty. Keep in mind that the same safety guidelines apply for these peaks as the fourteeners: Get an early start to avoid afternoon thunderstorms. Bring more water and food than you think you’ll need. Be prepared for any weather. Have a map. And, of course, don’t forget a camera.
