Stanley Mountain 12,521' !
Details
7.4 miles RT with 1,800' elevation gain.
A lofty, expansive hike using a portion of the Continental Divide trail in the Vasquez Peak Wilderness. There's a lot to see on this trip and you'll have a nice view of some old friends to the East - Flora, Eva, Parry, and James. There is a good trail all the way to the summit. This hike is an out and back that begins and ends at the Berthoud Pass parking lot which has restroom facilities in the warming hut. And remember, the first challenge is to avoid getting hit while crossing the highway...
