We will be taking Mt. Bierstadt's West Slopes route which never gets too steep and has a lot of ridge walking where wind blows away the snow.

The trailhead is only 1.5 hours drive from Denver and we hope to avoid the morning traffic.

Difficulty is a Class 2 ( T2 for Europeans ) no scrambles or anything like that.

Depending on snowpack snowshoes may be advisable for a little less Post-Holing. Of coarse it is winter and Colorado is windy so make sure to be extra warm, windproof, snow proof.

For anyone that does not have mountaineering experience we'll ask you to buddy up with someone that does. Never any shame in turning back we are here for the nature.

We will do one clime right before ethDenver right after.
