Are you ready to hike a 14er?

Climbing a Colorado 14er is an inspiring goal, and one that starts with an honest self-assessment. Through the Summit 2026 project, we are helping more people experience Colorado’s peaks safely. The first step? Understanding where you are today, so you can choose a route that sets you up for success. This guide is based on the same self-screening questions we use to help participants prepare for high-altitude hikes.
