Colorado's Thirteeners—13,800 to 13,999 feet: From Hikes to Climbs

by Gerry Roach

Although climbing Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks has become increasing popular in recent years for both state natives and visitors, many of the best climbs in the state are actually 13,000-foot peaks. Referring to these peaks as the "Centennial Thirteeners," authors Gerry and Jennifer Roach take you across Colorado to some of the most beautiful mountains the state has to offer. Peaks covered include Mount Meeker, which is visible from Denver, and more reclusive beauties such as Arrow, Vestal, and Jagged in the San Juan Range. Packed full of useful and user-friendly information on these and other peaks. With an even mix of hikes, scrambles, and climbs, as well as an average of almost 4 routes per peak, there is something for everyone.
