This 14,197-foot peak is the most recognizable of the Collegiate Peaks as it towers over Buena Vista like a triple-headed mountain god. It looks forbidding, but thanks to a good road leading high on the peak, it is actually one of the easiest climbs of the Sawatch 14ers. A high-clearance vehicle can make it to 11,000 feet, making for a relatively tame 6.5-mile hike with 3,200 feet of climbing.

“When you count on hitching a ride up a rough road, you probably won’t see a soul all day. That was my experience in 2006 when I had the entire mountain to myself. Unfortunately, since I have a low-clearance passenger car, I had to walk all the way up the road to the trailhead.”
