Huron via Lulu Gulch and tag a couple 13ers if you don't want to see anyone the 1st half of the hike. (2wd)bmmillard wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2024 6:35 am I’m reading about 4WD and 2WD THs!? Ugh. I currently drive a small two door.
However, the concerts at RR aren’t shaping up so it might be a climb only trip and, likely, Colorado Springs. That would make the combo De Ca Lin Bross (that’s wrong I know) a top pick?
Drive to Co Springs on a Friday. Climb on Saturday and Sunday. Back home on a Monday?
DeCaLiBross standard if you want to have a concert experience of being nuts to butts with hundreds of people on a weekend. (2wd but be prepared to walk along the road as the TH fills up).
Grays and Torreys via standard but you need 4wd and can't park along the road.
Times I've been alone all day on a 14er:
San Luis on a Thurs/Fri in Oct
Humboldt during the week in March, again on a Sunday in June of this year (that surprised me. Went up east, down standard, alone all day).
DeCaLiBross in Dec and Jan and Feb and April, all during the week.
Sunlight/windom and Eolus/nth next day during the week in August.
La plata in June
I've done non standard routes on Huron, Elbert, San Luis , Massive where I didn't see anyone until hitting the summit.
