Handies Peak Reviews

Even if you don’t plan to finish the hike, just getting to the trailhead is one of the most beautiful sights in Colorado. The American Basin is full of wildflowers in the summer, and it is spectacular to see. The road to the trail is rough and sometimes scary but worth it. Pretty mild for a 14er but still very challenging.
