    Alpine Loop Silverton to Silverton
    Once in a lifetime views for off-roading. Or hiking but we covered 75 miles and you can’t do that hiking in a day

    Handies Peak Trail from Grizzly Gulch
    This was mine and my wife’s first 14er. We talked to some people at the top and they told us that we did the harder trail and that the trail from the American Basin is a little easier. Since we went back down the same way we came up, we can’t compare the two.

    Handies peak. Track (7/30/20, 6:20:56AM)
    One of the easiest 14’ers. Beautiful flowers. There is parking below trail head if you don’t have high clearance 4x4.
