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.

Description

Capitol Peak (14,130') is one of the harder of Colorado's 14ers.  The standard route, from the Capitol Creek TH, is 17 miles RT with 5300' of elevation gain, and some 4th class sections on the infamous "Knife Edge".  But, unlike most of the Elk Range the rock is quite good.
