Conquer a 14er

Summit County has one majestic 14er, Quandry Peak. This is one of the most hiked 14ers in Colorado, and whether you’re bagging your first or a serious collector this is definitely one for the books. From the top the views are mind-blowing, and you just might meet one of the resident mountain goats or moose.

Quandary’s trails are so popular that reservations are required to park at the trailhead.
