November/December trip....
I'm sure this has been mentioned a million times, but I was curious of the best November/December peaks in the state? Least avalanche concerns, accessibility, etc. I may be out there and would love to try a few....thanks!

I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

Re: November/December trip....
Check out Dave Cooper's book: Colorado Snow Climbs: A Guide for all Seasons
I don't have it in front of me at the moment, but as I recall there are some decent candidates that are usually in shape for Nov/Dec. The book covers all routes, not just 14ers.
The options in November and December can vary A LOT depending on how much snow there is. There could be anywhere from almost nothing to deep powder. Flexibility is key!

Yes, what he said. Conditions are extremely variable in November and December in the mountains.The options in November and December can vary A LOT depending on how much snow there is. There could be anywhere from almost nothing to deep powder. Flexibility is key!

Re: November/December trip....
Great info. I really appreciate it.
Re: November/December trip....
November is arguably the worst month to hike peaks. I try and stay away that momth.
You can touch the void, just don't fall into it.
I fly a starship across the universe divide....and when I reach the other side...I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can. Perhaps I may become a Mountain Man again.
