Climbing 14er's in Colorado

[carld]

My brother a I just got back from a week in the San Juan's in Colorado. We had a great weather window, some nights it got down in the 30's where we were above 10,000 ft. Here are a few pictures.

My hobby is photographing the Milkyway. This picture is at near the Uncompahgre Peak trailhead.

Nice time in the San Juans! We did Handies from the opposite side. Red Cloud and Sunshine is a nice walk, isn't it? The Wetterhorn is one of our favorites to date. We did Wetterhorn and Umcompahgre the same date from the Matterhorn Creek trailhead. Might get back that way next summer and top out on a few more. Do you have a photo of the ledges to the top of the Wetterhorn?

We climbed San Lewis, Handies, Redcloud with Sunshine, the Wetterhorn and Uncompahgre. Which completes all the San Juan's for me. I've finished the Elk's and all but Culebra in the Sangre de Cristo's. We went to Antero but there were too many people and ATRs and the road was blocked by a wrecker retrieving a Toyota that went off the road. We looked at Princeton but it looked boring so we called it quits until later this fall.
