There are few activities in life as simple and rewarding as summiting a mountain. Whether a leisurely hike, half-day trail run or technical alpine climb, ultimately, it’s about getting to the top and taking in the view. But not all mountains are equal, and “14ers”— peaks topping 14,000 feet in elevation—are held in high regard. Colorado boasts 58 of these prestigious peaks, or more than 80 percent of the 14ers in the contiguous United States.
