San Luis Peak 14,014 Ft. Colorado 14er Day Hike

San Luis Peak is Colorado's 51st highest peak and is most noted for being the most difficult of the 14ers to get to. Situated about 2 hours from the nearest paved road you have to want to climb this one to make the effort to get there. The peak is a relatively simple Class 1 climb, beginning with a long nearly flat ascent past numerous Beaver Creeks. From here the trail begins to climb a bit steeper, but as far as 14ers go this one is relatively easy and straightforward, on trails the whole way.
