Multiple 14ers
I want to spend a week in CO this summer and do three 14ers. Is there a good spot to get an AirBnB where we can get to multiple 14ers trailheads within 1 to 1.5 hours? My group has done ten 14ers, so decent shape. Not looking for crazy hard, have already done Longs, quandary, Democrat Lincoln Cameron Bross grays torreys Bierstadt Evans. Just want to climb. Any suggestions?

Re: Multiple 14ers
I don't think Winfield has AirBnBs
(That is a good area for multiple peaks though and there are plenty of lodging options in Buena Vista or Leadville)

The Forest Service does have a few cabins that you can rent to stay at just short of Winfield though!CaptCO wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 7:54 pmSometimes I comment without reading the full post I blame the ADHD4thPlaceAtFieldDay wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 7:30 pmI don't think Winfield has AirBnBs

Re: Multiple 14ers
Yah. I'm a +2 on this one. Just remember to bring your Texas hat.
Re: Multiple 14ers
The perfect suggestion imho, as long as you (i) are happy to include one class 3 climb (Wetterhorn), and (ii) have a 4wd vehicle (at least for Uncompahgre and Wetterhorn). Otherwise check out Buena Vista (or Leadville) for your pick of easy Sawatch 14ers (and Sherman from the West).

+1 on this. LaPlata, Huron, Belford, Oxford and Missouri are all in this immediate area.
Seems like the times that I need a mountain the most are the times that I can not get to them.

Re: Multiple 14ers
Leadville, because it has High Mountain Pies. There are some 14ers in the area as well, or so I've heard.Gschuberth wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 5:53 pm I want to spend a week in CO this summer and do three 14ers.
