Quandary Peak - The 14er Near Breckenridge

Quandary is the highest peak in the Tenmile Range, near the town of Breckenridge Colorado. If you're visiting the area, be sure to drive to Hoosier Pass for a good look at Quandary. In summer, you can drive up an easy dirt road to reach Blue Lakes, on the south side of Quandary, where you have an excellent chance of spotting mountain goats.

Quandary is one of the easiest 14ers to hike because it's a short route with a trail to the summit. In fact, Quandary is often the first 14er for those starting to hike 14ers. Remember, every 14er hike requires you to be in good physical shape and have endurance as well as deal with the affects of being at high elevation.
