4 13ers and 5 14ers on a possible backpacking trip in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness.
Starting to think about packing into Pine Creek/Missouri Basin in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness for some 13ers and 14ers in June.

An alpine meadow on the south side of the ridge at 4,000m+ (13,000ft+) abruptly drops off with rugged rock formations and lingering snow on the north side. The saddle of the ridge is at 12,669ft while the next high point is at 13,168ft.
This is one of my favorite background photos for my work laptop. The ridge to UN13168, 4013.6m (13,168ft), coming down from Baldy Cinco, 4081m (13389ft). The saddle is 3861.8m (12,670ft). The alpine meadow was full of wildflowers. 22Jun2023

A bleached post sticks out of the summit cairn of Antora Peak, 4044.4m (13,269ft), the southern most 13er of the Sawatch Range. With the Sangre de Cristo range on the horizon, dust in air in the north end of the San Luis Valley reflects the blue sky. The road in the lower right corner goes Bonanza, and the trailhead for the traditional route. The nontraditional route- and better route in my opinion- starts at Marshall Pass and cuts off the Colorado Trail.
Looking southeast from the summit of 13er Antora Peak, 4044.4m (13,269ft). Beyond the next ridge is the north end of the San Luis Valley, the Sangre de Cristo range on the horizon.

I keep thinking that 2025 is the year for my Guanella-Land Traverse.

Looking south towards Antora Peak (13,269ft), from around 12,500ft on the southwest ridge of Mount Ouray (13,979ft). There's a nonstandard route up Antora's west ridge that's not on many maps, cuts off the CT south of Marshall Pass
