Handies Peak - Colorado 14er Dayhike

Handies Peak is the 41st highest peak in Colorado and is in the San Juan range. The climb up Handies is quite nice scenery and the summit is noted for its remotness from civilization. From the summit you cant see a city or a road.. not a sign of civilization. The two most popular trailheads to climb Handies are the American Basin trailhead, and the Grizzly Gulch trailhead. Grizzly Gulch is a longer climb, but it has the advantage that you can use the same trailhead to also climb Redcloud and Sunshine. It is also the most scenic route up Handies and is marked as a classic route.
