1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited.

Bagged another Colorado 14er yesterday, also took Erica up her first 14er! so the trip started with everyone bailing on me which lead to me asking Erica if she was working Sunday, and if she was up for the hike, well she was game.
we car pooled up together since she happen to live near the route i was taking, I-70 to 285. Erica got to experience a car ride with crying Jack and i learned Maggie liked to chew leashes affraid  see this post https://www.itsahuskything.com/t10970-ruff-wear-fail#166785
We made it to the trail head around 7am, Kite lake trail head, 12,000ft.
http://www.14ers.com/routemain.php?route=demo1&peak=Mt.+Democrat
I ran a track for this hike but its a sad report so im leaving it out.
we did 4 miles RT and reached the summit at 14,148ft. I helped Erica out and took maggie up the trail for her, i also half way down took maggie down the rest of the way to help save Erica's knee, i was able to leave S&J off leash so having just her was fine for me. we then got to the car and i turned the power on, not the engin to open the windows and when it was time to leave my battery was dead! thankfully 2 guys gave me a jump and we were on our way home. this is a rocky trail and Sierra was hurting that night and this morning from all the hopping she was doing, not sure if she is sore or her pads of the feet hurt, the feet look fine on both of them. i would say this ranked as an easy 14er right along with Mt. Evans if you are looking for an easy first 14er. Erica did great even with no training leading up to it and her bummed knee, i hope she will be up for another one soon.  oh and there is a $3 parking fee at the trail head unless you park on the road under the sign.ok now on to pictures!

One, he's not a dog person...at all. Two, he did all his hikes with some family we have out in the Denver area so he had hiking buddies for all his hikes. Wink Maybe if he goes out that way again.

Looks like a nice hike. I did Mt Evans this weekend. As long as the weather is decent I think Im going to try and get another one in this weekend. Any suggestions on a good one thats not to far from Denver?

depends on what you are after, there are plenty of 14ers and 13ers with in a hr drive. check out 14ers.com and 13ers.com they have an interactive map off all the peaks you can see what is close.
