San Luis Peak, CO
|
San Luis Peak is one of the more remote Colorado 14ers.
The past 3 years we've camped close by, so this year we decided we'd go hike it!
We want to hike more of Colorado's 14ers, so this was a great one to start off the 2010 hiking season.
It's a longer trail, but it was a lot of fun.
We only saw about 12 other people on the trail the entire day and we had the summit to ourselves!
 Camped out a the trailhead the night before. |
 We started hiking at 5:45am |
 The trail has a long start (~4 miles) before you start climbing |
