This past Sunday was a great day for Harvard! Beautiful weather and very kind fellow hikers. Not much wind at all, and so warm that my co-hiker Keegan and I were able to trek along without shirts for a ways!
This hike was my fourth 14er, and it was definitely a pleasant hike. We summitted in 4 hours and 15 minutes, and the whole way was a nice scenic route! Large green trees in the beginning, the small stream (not sure of a name) most of the way up, and clear views of the surrounding mountains during the last half of the hike. I also liked that we could see Mt. Harvard from early on in the trail:
That little bump on the far left side of the mountain (above pic) turns into large rocks:
And it's always nice to get reception at the top, to tell your friends how cool it is from the top of a 14er! Keegan on the phone:
And, being karate guys, we had to celebrate the summit the best ways we knew how:
I'd easily jump aboard another trip to Harvard during the summer with other friends if they decided to go. It was a blast!

nice! Thanks for posting this. I was just thinkin‘...if you fell while doing that handstand, it would hurt! I‘ll try not to miss out next time you guys go.
Was curious as what the total time was from start until you were back at the trail head. We plan to do Harvard in about 2 weeks.
