Exploring Colorado: The Famous Fourteeners

Try and come to Colorado and not come across a reference to “Fourteeners”. No, this is not a term for ornery teenagers (at least not here!) “Fourteeners” is a universal mountaineering term describing a mountain peak rising at least 14,000ft above sea level. They are significant here in Colorado, as the state boasts the majority of such peaks in all of North America- 53 to be exact. They play a huge part in Colorado’s mountain identity and serve as a spectacular playground for mountaineers both winter and summer.
