A view from the top! Colorado has 58* peaks that are over 14,000 feet. Yesterday Tracy, Sara, Andrea and I summited Quandary Peak, which is the 13th tallest peak in the state, at 14,265 feet. This was my 8th time summiting a 14er, and their first. Go us!

*53 of these are ranked 14ers. According to 14ers.com website, "To be ranked, a peak must rise at least 300 feet above the saddle that connects it to the nearest 14er peak (if another exists nearby). This guideline has been in use in Colorado for some time."
