About Handies Peak
Handies Peak stands at 14,058 feet (4,285 m) and offers one of the easier climbs in the San Juan Mountains. The 4WD access road brings climbers high on the mountain, making for a relatively short summit push. The peak provides spectacular views across the San Juans and stunning wildflower displays in summer.
History
Named after a local pioneer, Handies Peak is one of the most accessible San Juan 14ers. The American Basin approach offers some of Colorado's most spectacular wildflower displays in mid-summer.
