topos), but included herefor the purists and true peakbaggers. 2Officially named and appearing on USGS topos, but not recognized as an official "fourteener" by some, due to saddle drop and/or closeness to an adjacent peak. 3Distance and vertical gain are for the "standard" route, which is generally the easiest, based on an approach with a "normal" vehicle. Four-wheeling can reduce the approach (sometimes considerably) on some climbs, which likewise can reduce the grade of difficulty. 4Difficulty: The Grade is the overall difficulty based on the distance, vertical gain, and various tangibles and intangibles. The letter "A" is easy, "B" is moderate, etc. The Class is the technical hardness of the route, using the standard Sierra Club system. The Letter "E" indicates exposure, which can be considerable.

  • Grays Peak National Recreation Trail
    U. S. Department of Agriculture Dillon Ranger District 680 Blue River Parkway Silverthorne, CO 80498 (970) 468-5400 GRAYS PEAK NATIONAL RECREATION TRAIL - FDT 54 ** CLEAR CREEK RANGER DISTRICT PREFERRED ACCESS ** Difficulty: MORE DIFFICULT Trail Use: Heavy (especially on summer weekends) Length: 3.4 miles one-way to Grays Peak, 4.2 miles one-way to Torreys Peak Elevation: Starts at 11,244 feet and ends at 14,243 feet (highest point 14,253 feet) Elevation Gain: +3,566 feet - 565 feet = +3,001 feet Open To: HIKING Access: From Summit County travel on I-70 east toward Denver and take Exit 221, Bakersville, and travel south on Stevens Gulch Road (FDR 189). Just past I-70, bear left on Stevens Gulch Road where the paved road turns into a gravel road. Follow Stevens Gulch Road for approximately 2.9 miles all the way to the end of the road. Park where directed and continue on foot. Trail Highlights: Grays and Torreys Peaks are considered to be among the easiest “14’ers” to summit. Both Grays and Torreys Peaks can be reached in one day. However, hikers must leave early in the morning to accomplish this feat. Due to the popularity of this trail on weekends, please consider hiking these peaks during the week. Each of the peaks will reward the hiker with spectacular views of both sides of the Continental Divide. An abundance of wildflowers can be seen on this hike from mid-late July. From the trailhead you will notice Mt. Kelso, elevation 13,164 feet, to your right.

    Talk 8 at State Episode 8: Getting Outside with Abby Hepp Transcript Eliza Barsanti: Welcome to the department of Health and Exercise Studies’ Talk 8 at State Podcast with your host, Eliza Barsanti! EB: A couple weeks into the Fall 2020 semester, Covid-19 precautions caused NC State to put all classes online. This switch caused a lot of change in the lives of NC State students, forcing them to step out of their typical day-to-day routines in favor of something different. Abby Hepp ‘23 took this as an opportunity to go on the adventure of a lifetime-hiking, camping, and climbing her way across the United States! Today, we sit down with her to talk about her cross-country road trip, along with advice and NC State resources that students can use to get outside and craft their own adventures. EB: Okay, so today we are sitting down with Abby Hepp. Abby, would you like to introduce yourself to the podcast? Abby Hepp: Hi my name is Abby Hepp, I am majoring in Communication Media at NC State and I'm currently a sophomore. EB: Awesome! So we're going to get right into it! Today we're going to be talking about some of your adventures that you've been going on in the past few years and using to inspire other people as well, so let's start with- how did you become involved in outdoor activities and adventuring initially? AH: First of all, thank you for having me and initially will growing up, I would say my family was moderately active and you know I kind of had the typical playing outside with the neighbors childhood.

  • Spanish Peaks Wilderness
    Mt. Bierstadt Field Trip Trip date: 6/17/2006 Ralph Swain, USFS R2 Wilderness Program Manager Observations: 1). The parking lot was nearly full (approximately 35 + vehicles) at 8:00 am on a Saturday morning. I observed better-than-average compliance with the dog on leash regulation. Perhaps this was due to my Forest Service truck being at the entrance to the parking lot and the two green Forest Service trucks (Dan and Tom) in the lot! 2). District Ranger Dan Lovato informed us of the District’s intent to only allow 40 vehicles in the lower parking lot. Additional vehicles will have to drive to the upper parking lot. This was new information for me and I’m currently checking in with Steve Priest of the South Platte Ranger District to learn more about the parking situation at Mt. Bierstadt. 3). I observed users of all types and abilities hiking the 14er. Some runners, 14 parties with dogs (of which 10 were in compliance with the dog-leash regulation), and a new- born baby being carried to the top by mom and dad (that’s a first for me)! Management Issues: 1). Capacity issue: I counted 107 people on the hike, including our group of 14 people. The main issue for Mt. Bierstadt, being a 14er hike in a congressionally designated wilderness, is a social issue of how many people are appropriate? Thinking back to Dr. Cordell’s opening Forum discuss on demographic trends and the growth coming to the west, including front-range Denver, the use on Mt.

  • COLORADO CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT COLORADO! Day & Overnight Hikes on the Continental Divide Trail
    CONTINENTAL DIVIDE NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL DAY & OVERNIGHT HIKES: COLORADO CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT COLORADO! Day & Overnight Hikes on the Continental Divide Trail THE CENTENNIAL STATE The Colorado Rockies are the quintessential CDT experience! The CDT traverses 800 miles of these majestic and challenging peaks dotted with abandoned homesteads and ghost towns, and crosses the ancestral lands of the Ute, Eastern Shoshone, and Cheyenne peoples. The CDT winds through some of Colorado’s most incredible landscapes: the spectacular alpine tundra of the South San Juan, Weminuche, and La Garita Wildernesses where the CDT remains at or above 11,000 feet for nearly 70 miles; remnants of the late 1800’s ghost town of Hancock that served the Alpine Tunnel; the awe-inspiring Collegiate Peaks near Leadville, the highest incorporated city in America; geologic oddities like The Window, Knife Edge, and Devil’s Thumb; the towering 14,270 foot Grays Peak – the highest point on the CDT; Rocky Mountain National Park with its rugged snow-capped skyline; the remote Never Summer Wilderness; and the broad valleys and numerous glacial lakes and cirques of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. You might also encounter moose, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, marmots, and pika on the CDT in Colorado. In this guide, you’ll find Colorado’s best day and overnight hikes on the CDT, organized south to north. ELEVATION: The average elevation of the CDT in Colorado is 10,978 ft, and all of the hikes listed in this guide begin at elevations above 8,000 ft. Remember to bring plenty of water, sun protection, and extra food, and know that a hike at elevation will likely be more challenging than the same distance hike at sea level.

Unlike any other Fourteener in Colorado, hiking impacts are largely absent - Culebra is essentially "untrailed". In order to preserve its pristine condition, please follow these climbing guidelines: 1. Plan ahead and Prepare. A dehydrated climber scurrying down the mountain to escape a storm is likely to cause unnecessary damage to fragile alpine tundra. 2. Disperse while hiking.
