I'm partial to Long's Peak. Mainly because on a clear day we could see it from the back yard. Made us think that we lived on the front range.

I have gone skiing at nearly every large resort in Colorado...

Since Steamboat is to close to Boulder...:eek:

If I ever moved to Colorado say as my Winter Home...

Gunnison or Crested Butte would be awesome IMO.

Awesome mountain named for a guy that called Oklahoma the great desert where the gubment should send the indigenous persons to die. To speed up the dying, he suggested that A Jackson have ag peeps sow the soil with salt to hasten their deaths. Pike was a POS.


call me Debbie Downer..

I met my husband at Crested Butte.

For Pike's Peak:
Start drinking lots of water now.
Before you go up, take a couple of aspirin.
Avoid the doughnuts at the top.
Finish the soccer tournament BEFORE you let the kids go up Pike's Peak.
Seriously.

Very cool.

I love that place...

Psychedelic Rock...I chickened out. All me or my Brother could see at the bottom was both of us like this...

I agree. My family has a house in Estes Park in Park Entrance Estates on Deer Mountain. The view from the entire front deck is Longs, Meeker, Twin Sisters, all of Mummy Range basically. The other side of the mountain is the National Park.

What's wrong with Mt. Scott? ;)

Denali pwns.

[SoonerInKCMO]

Two minutes late, I am.

[birddog]

i live about 20 minutes from pikes peak. you can take a train to the top, if you'd like. cool place to visit.

Anyone who thinks Pikes Peak is the best mountain in the country hasn't been to Oregon. Seriously. And yes, I've been to both. More than once.

[MiccoMacey]

It's cool....for anyone who has not seen Mt Ranier.

[JohnnyMack]

You can drive to the top of Pikes Peak.

Denali kills people.

Therefore, Denali pwns.

[BigRedJed]

It's cool....for anyone who has not seen Mt Ranier.
That was kindof my point. Rainier, Hood, St. Helens... ...I doubt anyone pimping Pike's Peak has seen them.

[birddog]

sure you can drive up there but it will beat the hell outta your car. that and your brakes will give out before you make it down. and hood does rule all.

[BigRedJed]

And as for "America's best mountain," I can't really say either, because I haven't BEEN to Denali. I'm guessing McKinley is pretty impressive. Anything over 20,000 probably is, in fact...

[BigRedJed]

Not too many people around here have been to the Pacific Northwest. Too bad for them. Of course, as mentioned, I haven't been to Alaska. Too bad for me.

[sooneron]

Yes, I would say McKinlye kicks all's ***, but Matt and Ev.

[MiccoMacey]

That was kindof my point. Rainier, Hood, St. Helens... ...I doubt anyone pimping Pike's Peak has seen them.

We're saying the same thing...my statement was directed at the guy who erroneously thinks Pikes Peak is the best.

The Great NorthWest is where God goes when he tires of Heaven.

The Great NorthWest is one of the places God goes when he tires of Heaven.

Greatest SO post ... ever.

[Skysooner]

I love the view from Byers Peak. Great view of Denver. Pike's is great as well. You should try hiking up it which I did almost 20 years ago now. That separates the men from the boys.

[soonerjoker]

i like Mt.Whitney. you can drive up over 9000 ft. & it's tallest, excluding alaska. (in US).
