Hiking – Missouri Mountain

Let's go take advantage of this warmer weather and climb a 14er (or 3) in calendar winter...especially if we can drive all the way to the summer trailhead at Missouri Gulch.

Note: there is a chance we may continue beyond Missouri Mountain to Elkhead Pass, to climb Oxford and then Belford. We will make the call on the summit of Missouri.

For those who want to carpool we can meet up in Colorado Springs, or meet in Buena Vista the morning of the climb. This is to be decided once we discover who is coming. There is a chance some of us may spend the night in Buena Vista the night before.
