Mt. Elbert (Northeast Ridge)
Featured Route
If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to stand on the top of the world, hike up to Mt. Elbert. Colorado’s highest point. Summiting the peak of a mountain standing above 14,000 feet, or a 14er as most call them, should be on everyone’s Colorado bucket list.
This is a difficult hike, but the total elevation gain of under 5,000 feet makes it one of the shorter hikes to a 14er. When hiking at this altitude, it is wise to reach the peak by noon to avoid common afternoon storms.
