Looking for Good Clean Fun in Colorado
Posted: Wed Jun 19, 2013 5:17 pmI am visiting some Denver friends over July 4th and am looking for some scrambling suggestions:
- I would love to find a fun class 3 scramble on a reasonably tall mountain with a good view (but then again who wouldn't?)
- Two of use have a lot of experience of class 3 terrain in Montana and Wyoming, but we are with two hikers who haven't done much off trail (so something without a ton of exposure would be nice)
- Given our time frame the San Juans are probably too far, but the rest of the state is fair game
- I would like to stay off any really steep snow slopes
- We'd like to spend a few nights camping in the area, so a mountain with some nearby dispersed camping would be ideal
Anybody got any suggestions?
