Mt Bierstadt Summit Markers to commemorate your hike!

     Mt Bierstadt is Colorado's most popular and easiest Colorado 14er to hike and is found in Colorado's Front Range.  This Colorado 14er takes its name from the well-known and acclaimed painter of Western landscape, Albert Bierstadt. He is likely to have been among the first to ascend this and neighboring Mt. Evans--the subject of his famous Storm over the Rockies. Hikers can choose between a longer and greater elevation gain (Guanella Pass approach) or the shorter and lesser elevation gain from the summit of Mount Evans along the Sawtooth Ridge. Each has challenges for which hikers must be prepared. Under appropriate conditions, Mount Bierstadt can be ski-climbed. Mt Bierstadt was monumented by the USGS in 1955. Mt Bierstadt is the 38th highest 14er in Colorado.
