Sat, September 26, 2026 · 5:30 AM

Quandary Peak Trailhead, Breckenridge

Our next 14er! Quandary Peak (14,265 ft) via the East Ridge trail — ~6.8 miles round trip with ~3,450 ft of gain. Meet at the trailhead at 5:30 AM; we start early to beat afternoon storms and get the best views from the summit. This is a challenging hike above treeline — bring layers (windbreaker/shell, gloves, beanie), plenty of water, snacks, and sun protection. If conditions become unsafe, we turn around. Drivers with space, please coordinate rides ahead of time. Come ready. Hike together. Summit together.
