Quandary Peak - 14,265'

Today my Dad and I climbed Quandary Peak just South of Breckenridge. It was a straighforward hike up the East ridge. 6.7 miles roundtrip 3,400 vertical feet. The weather forcast for today was severe blue skies and it certainly lived up the billing. From the summit the views were incredible. You could see nearly every major mountain range in the state from the Elk and Sawatch Ranges in the West to the Sangre de Cristo Range going down to New Mexico in the South and Long's Peak and the Front Range in the East. A very nice mountain climb overall. This picture was taken about a month ago. There was considerably less snow on the mountain today.
