A Fourteener is a mountain that rises at least 14,000 feet (4,267 m) above sea level.� There are circa 54-59 official fourteeners in Colorado, more than any other state, even Alaska.� There are 15 fourteeners in California and one in Washington, Mount Rainier.� There are many climbing routes on these popular peaks which are climbed often.� In Colorado, about 2/3 of the peaks can be climbed by a relatively easy (Class1-2) climb.� Many people, myself included, have a goal of climbing all 54 of Colorado's fourteeners.� If you want solitude, you can find it but have to look for it. I have been on mountains with over a hundred people on them.� On the other hand, climbing fourteeners outside of the regular season (Summer) often brings solitude.� Two Colorado fourteeners have roads to the summit, Pikes Peak and Mount Evans.� Mount Elbert reigns supreme over all of the other fourteeners in Colorado at 14, 433'.� Mount Whitney is the highest point in the continental United States at 14,495'.� To find out more about specific fourteeners read any one of the numerous guidebooks available on them.���
