Southern Sawatch Conditions and Opinions?
Posted: Sun May 18, 2014 9:10 pm
Since we've never spent any time poking around the collegiate range we figured it would be a good spot to head early in the year so a couple months ago we booked a room in Buena Vista for the upcoming holiday weekend. It looked like things were progessing nicely but after the storm I think there may be more snow then we're expecting. It's been a while since we've been out and I'm rehabing a sore knee but we figured with all the pretty easy stright forward options it be a great place to knock out a couple 14ers. Only one Snotel site around and the TH updates on 14ers seem a week or two old (maybe some updates after this weekend). Anyone have local beta or route opinions? I was thinking Angel of Shavano but may be early from what I've seen and Princton or Harvard. Looking for two half to most of a day hikes/climbs but with my knee I'd probably like to keep the milage under 12 RT each day. Thanks for any help.
