    Tips

    July 12, 2023

    At 14,440 feet, Mount Elbert is the highest peak in Colorado and the second highest in the contiguous United States. Along with being the tallest peak in the state, it is also one of the most popular summits. There are a variety of routes to get to the top, and all are rewarded with 360 degree views of the Sawatch and Mosquito mountain ranges.



    Elbert can be one of the more "runnable" 14ers, but the upper mile and a half is usually power-hiking grades.
