Logistic help with 3 day trip to San Juan Range

Post by ronxhill »

Is there a resource to help plan a 3 day trip to the San Juan Mountains that will give us the chance to climb 2 or more 14ers in this one trip? We will be coming from the Summit County area and will be our first time trying any of the 14ers in that range. I started researching and saw that some 14ers have multiple TH options.

There's a campground just outside Lake City that's easily accessible with any vehicle. From there you can access both trailheads for Handies, as well as Redcloud/Sunshine (including Sunshine N/W face). If you'd like to scoot over to Uncompahgre it's less than an hour.....that should take care of 3 days. :-D
When I say access TH's I mean drive to in about 20 min

The past post and the new one are perfect. I tried to search for old post, but most not have used the right terms. Thanks again!
