My bloodhound rocks
Took my sister, girlfriend and my two dogs up this one- all first timers. The bloodhound was 5 mnths old, and complained the least!

Busy Mountain
Trail was busy with many other hikers and we had to share the summit with about 20 other people. It still had great vistas and was my sisters first 14er.

Not The Best 14er
But I can't wait to go back and do the Sawtooth Ridge.
Parked off the Mount Evans road and headed down to the basin. I recommend this route very scenic and nice finis to the summit. Part of a 10 day 18 14,000 ft. summit solo climbing trip.

Southwest Slopes
Trying to get over to Evans too via the Sawtooth, but a wicked storm blew in so that my hair was standing straight up and my partner kept shocking me. Terrified me into being more prepared and starting much earlier from that point on.

First 14'er
First summit attempt, a lot harder than anticipated, but very fun. I will try again this summer when the snow isnt up to my butt.

Western slope
Made it to 13,800. It was a very windy day and we added three miles to the day by having to park and walk to the trail head. We spent too much time in the willows and we decided to turn back to make to the truck my nightfall, which we barely did. It was dark by Georgetown. Overall a great day. Again soon.
I met a few people at the top. This was my 3rd 14er. The willows below were a mess due to melt-off. All before they put in that wooden walkway. Good weather.

Route: West SlopesPretty easy stroll. Got a very early start to beat the masses. Then headed on to Sawtooth and Evans. Good stuff.

from Guanella PassCasual Front Range hike with the masses. Hard to beat now, with the boardwalk in place.

from Guanella PassSnowshoed to the top. That works well going over the willows. No boardwalk in those days.
