Looking For Someone To Hike A Fourteener With?

A couple years ago I started climbing 14ers. My wife and kids were not up for that kind of hiking and I didn’t want to go it alone. I found SummitPost.org to be a great place to find local people to hike with. You can go on the website anytime and find other hiking enthusiasts who are willing to hike with you (some of them are very experienced). It’s also a good site to find out what the conditions are on various mountains.

So if you want to get into the higher peaks and start hiking some of Colorado’s georgeous fourteen thousand foot peaks, sign up on summit post and then go to “plans and partners” area.
Happy hiking!
