| re: ***Official Hiking/Camping Thread*** yea, our main goal once we get there is to summit mt. elbert... highest point in colorado, second highest in the lower 48... its going to be a challenge Reply Back to Top |
| make sure to bring your winter gear! 545 feet is nothing to play around with! seriously, that's something I wouldn't mind doing myself. Also,Mississippi has Mt Woodall that is slightly under 800 ft. Anyone hiked Magazine in Arkansas? eta: Woodall is 807 This post was edited on 4/24 at 9:00 pm Reply Back to Top |
| I think I've been to Mt Woodall. I think we drove to the top. I was really young but thought I remember my dad saying it was the highest point. Reply Back to Top |
| It's in extreme NE Miss. My delimma is I can hardly justify driving to NW Arkansas or even North Mississippi or Alabama...If I've gone that far I might as well drive to the smokies. Reply Back to Top |

| There are lots of places that are close that u just don't get out to see often. It's been about 20 years since I've been to Clark's creek trails. Reply Back to Top |
quote:I've always wanted to summit mt. Driskill. I've climbed over 50 mountains over 4,000 feet and summited a 14'er, yet I've never been to my home state's highest point. Reply Back to Top |
quote: my current highest is springer mountain.... if you dont count when i went skiing in banff.. which i dont because i didnt hike it. i have a feeling every weekend im going to be doing some sort of outdoor activity... i know im for sure going to be getting into mountain biking the second i get up there Reply Back to Top |
| which 14er was it? do you have any pictures from it? Reply Back to Top |
| I do Clark's creek every few years...surprises me how tough it is every time. (I've never really been in good cardio shape until now) Reply Back to Top |

quote: My high point is South Sister, 10,358. I plan on attempting Mt. Rainier in the next year. I remember seeing a trail that was loaded with bikers near buffalo bills grave in golden. You'll have fun, enjoy. I really wish I had access to the mountains right now. Reply Back to Top |
| its going to be very nice being able to go hiking and do overnights every weekend Reply Back to Top |

| Chautauqua Park in Boulder is great and the Royal Arch trail has a cool view of Denver. It's also a very close drive. Reply Back to Top |
| I have done Mt Massive near Leadville years ago when visiting family who live there. Pretty disappointing for the altitude. Lots of the mountains in Co. don't have a lot of prominence. Reply Back to Top |
Having said quote: What do you think about the tarptent contrail or something like it? Its obviously light weight. What are the cons? Reply Back to Top |
quote: its not technically difficult, just a long, long walk up its just a massive hump Reply Back to Top |
quote: Lot more prominence than some other 14'ers in Co. Most are just somewhat inclined hikes at high elevations. Reply Back to Top |
