Description
At 14,003', Huron Peak barely makes it as a 14er. But since it is, it's very popular. The shortest, quickest route is the Northwest Slopes route from a 4WD-accessible TH above Winfield. From there it's about 3.25 miles to the top, with 3500' of elevation gain.
Editor's Note: Many Colorado 14ers should not be considered “backcountry” where you go anywhere you want; their popularity can create a plethora of braided social paths that lasts for decades in the fragile tundra. So if there is a trail, please stay on it. Hundreds of volunteers with the Fourteeners Initiative work hard to protect our mountain environment.
