Hike Trip Reports
Prior to heading out on our Snowmass Wilderness backpacking trip, I scoured the internet looking for any information on the trail we were heading out on. I stumbled across an incredibly useful trip report that gave me a good idea of what we were up against, so that I was better prepared for the hike.I'm like that -- I like knowing all there is to know about an area before stepping foot into it. My hope is that these casual trip reports may provide that level of information to someone else. Of course, there are plenty of 14'er trip reports out there, and it's still required to own your own copy of Gerry Roach's Colorado's Fourteeners and use fantastic websites like 14ers.com or SummitPost.org, but hearing yet another opinion of the trail is always good.
Most of the trip reports contain photos and various maps, including GPX files, National Geographic TOPO files, Comma Separated Value (CSV) files, and Google Earth files containing waypoints and routes. If you enjoy these, feel free to drop me an email at
to let me know that you found them
useful! I'm hiking all the time, so this page should change fairly regularly
(at least in the summer), plus I have a lot of peaks that I haven't written
up yet, so check back often.Oh, and the usual disclaimer: the information contained in these reports is just that: information. Please use common sense and caution if you attempt any of these hikes, and don't trust my information by itself, as conditions (and my memory) always change!
