    Tips

    July 6, 2023

    Hiking

    At 14,428 feet, Mount Massive is the second highest peak in Colorado. It is a popular summit due to having multiple routes and mainly only requiring class 1 and class 2 moves to reach the top. Like all 14ers, the weather can change fast, and it's best to try to get below treeline as early in the day as possible during the spring and summer months.

    The ridge and summit involve some fun rock hopping, but the lower trails offer great running through meadow and basin trails.
