The planning for this year began before we finished the hike! Typical for us altitude junkies. Be warned, hike one, and you might become addicted. Lead by Jim and Jennie Johnson, this year’s 14er promises to be another memorable hike. C4C has chosen Mt. Sherman, a 14,036’ peak in the Tenmile-Mosquito range. Sherman is 10 miles west of Fairplay and 8 miles south of Mt. Democrat (14,148') and Mt. Bross (14,172'). The hike will begin early on Friday morning. From the trailhead, you will start at 12,000' and hike ~2.6 miles to the summit. The trip is 5.25 miles round trip. If we can't make it to the 12,000' trailhead due to snow, the hike will obviously be longer. Directions from Fairplay: Drive just over a mile south on U.S. 285 and turn right onto County Road 18. Drive 10 miles to a large parking area at 11,250'. This is the Leavick site. There is a large mine building on the right before the parking area. The road starts to get rough after this point but passenger cars can slowly drive another 1.5 miles before the road gets harsh. There are a couple of small pull-offs between 11,700' and 11,900' and more parking before a gate near 12,000'. The gate is usually closed. In winter, the road is usually plowed only to 11,100' which is one mile below the Leavick site. Source: www.14ers.com. To learn more about fourteeners visit online, www.14ers.com.
