Kit Carson Mountain is one for those who like 14er adventures, it's challenging but worth it. The trail has climbing parts of class 2 and 3, so an alpine hiking experience is mandatory to attempt reaching this summit. Make sure to pay attention on your way up, and take note of the route from Challenger Point, because you will need to pass through the same way on the way back. The peak has remarkable views of Willow Creek Valley, Challenger Peak, and Crestone Needle.
