This week's Hiking in Colorado adventure took us back down south to the Sangre de Cristo range as we set our sights on Humboldt Peak. We climbed Humboldt on Monday July 31st. After parking at the 2WD trailhead, we setup camp at south colony lakes. On Tuesday we planned on attempting the Crestones Traverse but ended up having to call the weekend before we had a chance to do it. Humboldt Peak is an awesome 14er that gives you great views of the Crestones!

In this video, I bring you along on our hike up Humboldt Peak. The West Ridge of Humboldt Peak starts from the South Colony Lakes trailhead and is approximately 11 miles (from the upper 4wd trailhead) and 4,200 of elevation gain. If starting from the lower 2wd trailhead, you're looking at about 16.50 miles and 5,350' of elevation gain.

After reading some books on the San Luis Valley in 2018, I decided to see the area first hand. I ended up staying about 5 days in Crestone. Although I never got a chance to do any real hiking, it was these beautiful Crestone mountains that made me fall in love with the area. So much so that I ended up buying some land at the Baca Grants. Hopefully one day I can get out of the east coast (permanently) and start a new life out there. That magic you describe at the sight of those mountains - I know exactly what it is you mean. Thank you for the great video - though it did leave me feeling a bit nestalgic.
This is a very doable one for first timers or flat-landers like myself during the summer. It was a very long day but was well worth that spectacular view of the Crestones! Absolutely unforgettable!
I actually hiked up there around the same time in August 2017 and I remember it raining everyday. I hiked Crestone Needle which was cool.
Really enjoyed this video and adding this one to the top of my list of hikes to do when next in CO - that scenery is amazing!!!
you are very good at these. This has to go on my to do list.
Awesome! You deserve more subs. Great video.
Thank you very much, that means a lot to me! :D
a fire pit right next to a tree. smart smart smart.
Nice video! Keep it up
Thank you! And also thanks for watching!
Great video. I plan to attempt Humbolt Peak this weekend and camp in the basin. Are there other good camp sites similar to yours that provide views like you had? An amazing basin for sure! Safe Trails!
approaching the humboldt summit looks a little precarious. Is that just how it looks on camera, or is there some actual climbing to reach the summit? Do you need any special gear?
What range of months is "monsoon season" considered to be?
Nice! As an overnight in August, what would be your choice Humboldt, or Blanca. Enjoy your videos.
Pete Evans personally I enjoyed Humboldt more when I did it. The he is of the crestone is incredible. But blanca is sweet to. But, the lake como approach isn't the best.
How bad was that last 1.5 4 wheel drive section to the trailhead? Could my all wheel drive Suburu handle it?
No wonder everyone is flocking to CO
Hey y’all! I am looking to do my first 14er this coming summer. I am a Texas flatlander and have no real experience. At first I was looking at this mountain, but it honestly looks really exposed and steep. What mountains would y’all recommend for backpacking? Class 1 or easy class 2 is a must. They say this mountain is class 2, but it looks kinda technical to me... any advice is appreciated!
Pikes Peak is a popular Class 1
What route did you take?

I know I"m a year late but that's a marmot
