This is one of the 'easier' 14-ers to climb in CO - get up early and go, as it gets crowded near the middle of the day, you'll also want to be off the mountain before the afternoon T-storms roll in!

Lannie's Clock Tower Cabaret is a fabulous time for those who are a little more adventurous. A true burlesque joint (not a 'gentleman's club,' but not for kids either!). I suggest booking tickets for Naughty Pierre's Burlesque and Comedy Extravaganza.
