Quandary Peak // New Years Eve 14'er // Colorado

 I picked an easy access 14'er to ascend on New Years Eve, Quandary Peak, which is also perhaps the easiest of all the Colorado 14'ers to summit. Besides a few chilly gusts, the weather was generally pretty pleasant going up and down the mountain. And the hike went about as one would expect, simple and straight-forward...plus the snow was firm so no post-holing. I started around sunrise and was back down to my truck in time for midday lunch. I wish every 14'er were like that.

Google map of Quandary Peak is here.
