100 mountains in 2018
After some inspirational summits in January, I've decided to recommit to the 2016's unfinished project of summiting 100 unique peaks in a year. It's just so much fun to get out and explore and it drives me to go places I normally wouldn't. Same rules as 2016: they can be mountains I've climbed...

Mt. Sniktau
A short hike from Loveland Pass can take you to the summit of Mt. Sniktau (el 13,234ft). Breathtaking views and overly friendly marmots greet you along the way.  *The starting point at Loveland Pass*  A short two mile trail and 1,000ft of vertical takes you to the top of Chief Mountain el 11,709ft. It's a great little summit with views from Pikes Peak all the way to Longs Peak.  - Mt. Evans Wilderness
 The lower half of the Abyss Trail is a wonderful gentle climb mostly along the Scott Gomer Creek. Like many trails the higher you go the better it gets and after a couple stream crossings opens up into beautiful meadows with gorgeous views. The first st...

Flying J Ranch Park

Staunton State Park - Lions Head
