I Hiked a Fourteener!!

I wanted to share: On my trip to Colorado this last week, I met a top 5 accomplishment of my life. I hiked to the top of Handies Peak, 14,078 feet above sea level. Took the 4x4 road to get there via Cinnamon Pass and American Basin. My first Colorado Fourteener, but definitely not my last. Took about 4-5 hours round trip and got rained on coming down, but it ROCKED. If you ever have the chance to do it, get out there!! It is SO WORTH IT!

That's awesome, SkiBum! Beautiful pic!


Edited: I just realized the "thumbs up" guys is winking. That's kind of creepy and I didn't mean it to be creepy! lol Sorry.

Just took a job in Avon this week, can't wait to get up there in a few weeks. I will be hiking, biking, boarding, and kayaking every chance I get which will be often.

Very nice picture and good job, those hikes are tough but so worth it when you get to the peak. Haven't hiked in about 5 years years ago used to jog parts of Pike Peak when up there but that was half a life ago.

I lived in Colorado Springs for over ten years (and I miss it terribly) and have hiked a few of those peaks. Your accomplishment is nothing to sneeze at... great job!
