All altitude acclimation hikes:

Quandary - previously at least a dozen times every year - no more since parking regularization
Sherman - about twice a month
Pikes from Craigs to treeline - about twice a week

Sneffels, because it is close to where I live and the SW Ridge is a classic.

Wetterhorn, because it is the most beautiful mountain in Colorado, and has some fun variations from standard hike.

Kit Carson, because the N Ridge.

Hijacking this thread to tack on another question that my wife and I were recently discussing: Which peak would you NOT want to repeat, and furthermore, if a friend who needed to add the peak to their list were to ask you to accompany them, which peak(s) would you decline the invitation on?

Wilson Traverse because enough mini-fridge size blocks broke below us that I never want to step foot on that route again.

Most of the Sawatch range. I like scrambling, and there was enough seemingly repetitive hikes in the Sawatch that I don't think I'd get much out of repeating any of them.

The closer (to Denver metro) easier access 14ers I repeat a lot because they are closer and easier access. They also tend to be shorter days which allows for not getting up as early and also good for shoulder season. Bierstadt and Quandary are the two that I have done the most and in every month. Again, because of easy access. Quandary will be mainly a shoulder season hike going forward because of the new parking reality. Even though I've done these routes so many times, with all the variables, they are never the same. I never get tired of the view or the whole body feeling of being up there.

I agree with MountainHiker. Closer with easy access makes for repeat hikes. I use Bierstadt a ton! Bet I've been on that summit nearly 100 times! I also like Snitkau/Grizzly area and Sherman with nearby 13ers as my common repeats. They're also useful as conditioning hikes before the summer season gets going. Quandary was a favorite until the parking issues were implemented. Now I seldom bother.

Wetterhorn and Unc, for their beautiful views and fond memories.

Pyramid before the road got to be too much of a PITA. Now with kids, G&T any weekday before work.

Nice thread. I tend to do repeats most of the time these days. Drive time is key to me now. I really enjoy G&T in the winter on skis .. Bakerville is 35-40 mins from my house. The road is the perfect grade to skin up and ski down. If feeling good go for Kelso ridge, but usually just skin up to 12 or 13k, hike to the tops, ski down before ski traffic starts. Been up there a few dozen times over the last few years and typically have the mountain to myself.
In summer, Blue Sky trail run from Echo lake via Chicago lakes is a great close workout. Also love Longs and the Arapahoes, exploring all the different routes during different seasons on these peaks.
Green mountain (Lakewood) and Mount Morrison I do ~100 a year and never get too tired of .. having these peaks out my door keep my fitness and sanity in check.

Longs Peak for the variety of snow and rock routes. I’ve done it a dozen times now but have only done the standard Keyhole Route three times.

+1 for Longs

Longs (18 times) for the variety, convenience from Fort Collins, and I always come away feeling like it was a full value day.
