"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Light WinterTook advantage of a light start to winter with a group of 7 up the standard route from Winfield. Typically the winter maintenance on the road ends 8 mile below this point, so what is normally a 26 mile winter hike was only 10. Can't complain about that! Some new snow might change the ability to drive the road soon, recommend 4WD due to snowpack/icy spots.

Stnd and North RidgeStarted off by hiking Huron Peak and hiked north to summit Brown's Peak and UN 13,456. Great weather, sunny and long.

Huron from WinfieldWhat a great day. Sunny skies, warm and no wind...in mid-December.
Was a great early winter climb with no one else around to speak of. Great views too!

First ClimbI am from the mid-west and Huron was my first climb and first time ever in Colorado. I was completely unprepared for the wind, cold, and altitude. I'm sad to say I turned back just below the false summit.

Spring on HuronPoor snow on approach, poor snow above treeline, but great views! The 4X4 trail was very muddy and made for some extra fun.

MainiacRough 4WD approach. Went with Kevin, a Maine flatlander, but he did great. Got a little off route in 8" of wet snow, but made the summit.

Huron PeakOver 3400 feet of elevation gain in 3.4 miles. Great Views from the summit.

Standard RouteWonderful bluebird day for a mountain hike. Huron probably has the best summit view that I have ever experienced! I think that I was able to see all the way to the San Juans!
