14er Route Descriptions

Welcome to the online 14ers guidebook. Not all 14ers have a trail to the summit but each peak does have a route considered to be the *standard route - the most common and sustainable route to the summit. Please, do not underestimate the challenge and inherent dangers of climbing a 14er. Start with the easiest 14ers before progressing to more challenging routes which will test your route-finding skills, endurance, and resolve.

* To be ranked, a peak must have at least 300 feet of prominence, which is the amount of elevation it rises above the lowest saddle that connects to the nearest, higher peak. This guideline has been in use in Colorado for some time. The following peaks are not ranked because they do not have enough prominence but are on this 14er list because they are named and recognized on USGS maps:

Mt. Cameron  Prominence 152'
El Diente Peak  Prominence 264'
Challenger Point  Prominence 264'
North Eolus  Prominence 212'
Conundrum Peak  Prominence 225'
