Most Loved 14er

Post by Salient »

Recently we had threads about what our least favorite 13ers & 14ers were. So, let's change it up with some positivity. What is everyone's favorite 14er or favorite experience on a 14er?
Be the best you that you can be.

That traverse was definitely a lot of fun.

It's a toss up between Sherman, Bross, Bierstadt, and Pikes.

I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

Got to call my girlfriend a dirty little marmot while getting back to nature on the summit of White Mountain at 14,252', so that was pretty fun.

Most lovin' I ever got on a 14er.

Of my modest list of 17, Handies is still on top of the list. Hiking on a weekday during the peak of a late summer wildflower bloom explains much of it. Summit and many other view points all to myself, you betcha! I love the San Juans anyway.
My top 5 is completed by Redcloud, Huron, La Plata, and Massive (my 1st 14er), in no particular order.

So many to choose from, and I'm not done with the list. My top 10 would probably be Holy Cross, Wetterhorn, Lindsey, Eolus, Sneffels, Huron, Quandary, Handies, Wilson Peak, and Sunlight. Can you add a poll?
