14ers

A Grand Junction elementary school teacher is moving past the 14ers, onto Mount Everest.

Pikes Peak is so popular, it's had a recording breaking number of visitors this year. Over 500,000 people have visited Pikes Peak in Colorado this year.

This group of Coloradans rescued a woman from a 14er by carrying her almost three miles.

Colorado has the most 14ers in the United States. Colorado has 53 14ers, mountain peaks that 14,000 feet or higher, and these are the hardest ones to climb.

Here's to you, Josh Sanders. He just set the world record by climbing ten Colorado 14ers in one day. Not only is it a world record, it seems to be something of a miracle.

I like to think I've learned a few things in the past nine months that I've lived in Grand Junction. A few months wiser, here's what I've learned so far.

I had no idea what a 14er was until I moved to Colorado. These are mountain peaks over 14,000 feet high and Colorado has over 50 of them. Here's how to find them.
