Colorado's Fourteeners: From Hikes to Climbs is a celebration of the joys that come from climbing Colorado's highest peaks. Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks offer the hiker and mountaineer one of the finest arrays of alpine challenges in the Rocky Mountains. Climbing Fourteeners has become increasingly popular in recent years, and the challenge of climbing all the Fourteeners captures many people. The elevation celebration continues. Volume 3 covers 14,264-foot Mount Evans and 14,060-foot Mount Bierstadt. Evans is the closest Fourteener to Denver and has the highest paved road in North America. Evans is the namesake and highest peak in the Mount Evans Wilderness, and Evans' north face is home to several fine technical routes. Bierstadt is most famous for being one of Colorado's easiest Fourteeners. 103 pages, 20 routes, 8 variations, 4 extra credits, 2 annotated maps, 33 color photos, 6 lists.
