Popular Quandary Peak Hike

Quandary Peak is the highest summit of the Tenmile Range in the Rocky Mountains of North America and is the most commonly climbed fourteener in Colorado. It has nearly the same elevation as Castle Peak and Mount Evans. This hike can be quite treacherous as it took me a total of 6-7 hours return. You will climb approx 3,450 feet with a total distance of approx 11km. This also includes the very thin air which causes you to go abit light headed at times. But with slow and consistent speed you will be able to make it up there. Make sure you bring food and water with you as this hike is really long and tiring. You would also want to take a good break at the top of the mountain to absorb the amazing views that you work so hard for. This is a very well trekked hike, so you do not need to worry, many people come here to hike even on weekdays. This is a relatively easy hike with an increase of elevation at the top of the mountain, this isn't wheel chair friendly as you will need to climb rocks on the way up. In 2020, quandary peak is popular as one of the 14ers, you will need to ensure that you get parking slots before you go as there are new parking policies in play. #hiking #mountains #14ers #breathtaking #hikers #hikes #dayhike #view #scenic #colorado #peak #quandarypeak #denver #instaworthy #instapic #instatravel #awesome #awesomepic #nature #nationalpark
