Colorado's Fourteeners


Of the 100 tallest mountains in Colorado, 53 are above the elevation of 14,000 feet and are known as the "Fourteeners." There is actually some debate as to how many Fourteeners there are in Colorado. I simply go by the generally accepeted rule that to be considered a unique summit it must rise more than 300 feet from it's connecting saddle to a taller peak. By this rule there are 53 fourteeners in Colorado. Below is a chart listing all of the summits I have climbed. I included two peaks that fall under the classic list of 14ers but don't rise 300 feet above their connecting saddles. They are North Maroon and El Diente two very noteworthy summits in spite of their lack of rise. Unfortunately there are a few for which I have no pictures.
