Such an excellent video! I hiked to the summit this summer 2024, and this video about brought me to tears. It was hard. 4 hours up. 2 down. I'm 61. I did it!!!

The shot of the cloud rolling over the ridge!!! 👍

WoW!!! Love! Love!! Love!!! (Besides the Peeps;))

These views are spectacular!! Just Breathtaking!! Thanks!

I didn’t see any goats when I hiked Quandary either. Saw quite a few heading toward Evans when I did that. You ever considered Quandary’s West ridge. Looks insane and wouldn’t do that one on my own for sure. Probably wouldn’t see anyone on that route till you created the ridge and hit the summit haha.

Fantastic video. Quick question - is the drive to the parking lot doable in a standard sedan with front wheel drive?

It's a nice view on the top, and on the whole trip, all the animals can feel you are a good person and come close, thank you very much for the trip and fine a hotel too 😁
👍👍👍👍👍

We are heading to Breck this weekend. Did several trails when we were there last year, but really hoping to check this one off our list! Hope my kids are up for the challenge!

Don’t fool yourself thinking Quandary is an ‘easy’ 14’er. I posted an ascent time of 3h55m. The final 1K is all solid gain and I was blowing hard. Much tougher than Bierstadt, which I completed a week earlier. Very rocky trail. Slipped on loose rock/gravel and landed on my ass twice on descent. Also twisted my ankle couple of times too. Nothing serious, but boots and hiking poles are both recommended. I had the latter, but not the former. Imposing but beautiful looking mountain when viewed from Hoosier Pass.

Great hotel reminds me of 70's👍❤️

I went in that peak about a few days after the goats were shot

[NickW.H.]

Now did the “asshole” shoot a mountain goat legally or illegally? Because if he did it legally there’s nothing wrong with that.

Nick I just wanted to let you know and anyone reading the comments that the best thing to carry for blisters is mole skin. Always have a little in your pack for your use or perhaps for someone you see suffering on the trail. They’ll kiss you, I guarantee!

Everything you said was wrong. The summit is not the end. It is the half way point. Stay safe.
