14er’s Climbed–The Peak Bagging Page

Listed below are all the 14ers I’ve hiked. A ’14er’ is shorthand for a peak or mountain that stands above 14,000 feet in elevation. Colorado, my home-state, happens to be the most well-endowed state with 53 (or more, depending on how one defines a stand-alone peak). Many have turned peak-bagging into a challenge, trying to summit all the 14ers in CO. Some have even summited all the 13ers (over 600) in Colorado. While I’d like to someday summit all the CO 14ers, I’ve just been having fun knocking a few off the list. I’ve also documented a few 13ers and other favorite peaks in this collection. Like thru-hiking, peak bagging is somewhat of a niche outdoor activity, with its own unique difficulties, rewards, and community. But I really just love to hike and be in the mountains, so it’s no surprise that standing on top a peak, regardless of its height, appeals to me.
