Colorado's 58 fourteeners

Colorado has more peaks above 14,000 feet than any other state — 53 that meet the 300-foot prominence rule most lists use, plus five named sub-peaks (Cameron, El Diente, Conundrum, North Eolus, and North Maroon) that the climbing community has long counted toward "all 58." This map includes all of them, grouped by range, with the unranked five flagged so you can chase whichever list you subscribe to.

The usual starting point is the Front Range: Grays and Torreys from the I-70 corridor, Bierstadt from Guanella Pass, and Quandary near Breckenridge are all walk-ups with good trails and a lot of company on a summer weekend. Mount Elbert, the state highpoint at 14,440 feet, is a long but gentle day from Twin Lakes. Those five will give most people a taste of altitude and a sense of whether they want to keep going.

Where it gets serious

The Elk Range around Aspen — the Maroon Bells, Capitol, Pyramid, Snowmass — is loose, steep, and where the fatalities happen; it's the section most finishers leave for last. The San Juans are remote rather than dangerous for the most part, but there are 14 of them and the drive from the Front Range is long. The Crestones in the Sangre de Cristo mix the two: a beautiful basin, a long approach, and Class 3 and 4 rock on the Needle and the Peak.

A few things worth knowing. Afternoon thunderstorms are the real hazard on Colorado summits in July and August, so the standard advice — summit by noon — exists for a reason. Several trailheads now require reservations or have private-land access issues; Culebra, the only privately owned fourteener, charges a fee and limits numbers. Click a peak badge or its pin to mark it summited, and again for want-to-climb. If you're collecting the bigger list, the 13ers map picks up where this one stops.
