Colorado 14ers: Mt Shavano & Tabeguache Peak Virtual Trail Guide

[@TehSpyAnimal]

Really love all the videos, they're a great resource for everyone preparing for a 14er! I watch your video for every peak before I head up!

[@tracyjones314]

Thanks for taking us step by step!!! We used to live in Colorado and try to hike at least one 14er a year now. Missing the mountains!!!

[@ryancampion832]

The pronunciation counter 😂😂 Uncompagre kills me. I can't even remember how to spell it, let alone say it properly. Love your videos man!

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

LMAO honestly, same. I just gave up on that video and started calling it "U" peak, which you can see me do with Tab even though I was LITERALLY just told how to say it haha

[@tomcripps7229]

According to my old friend Bill Parker it's Un com padre.

[@rlstivers1]

Awesome video as always Mickey! Tackling these tomorrow. 👍👊

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

Good luck 👍🏽

[@Pie1183Games]

Really dig these videos man! I had always been a novice hiker, having been to colorado only once and reaching just 9000 ft. I since went back a second time; I got into your content before the trip up Mt. Bierstadt, and now I'm planning a trip to do the decalibron. Wouldn't have been able to improve so quickly without these, keep it up!

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

Glad to hear it!

[@StephanieHughesDesign]

Another great video. Love your use of the Drone. Stellar.

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alexbaum389]

About to do Angel tomorrow, hopefully snag tabby on the way, we will see!

[@theadventuresofzoomandbettie]

Great video! Some great views there!

[@nigelduncan7841]

My friend says it the wrong way and I say it the right way. He said it so much he convinced me that’s how u say. LOL

[@namluu]

It's a lot of work to set up the camera and drone so thank you for doing this! One thing I'll point out in case it helps others is that it can be a challenge getting back to S after T. Try not to swing too far to the left of the ridge otherwise you will have more ascent to go back up to S summit, which is the recommended way to get back.

[@georgesheffield1580]

Correct on Mt S ,He is correct on Mt T , then there is Antero

[@jamman3131]

Great Videos !

[@andreikravchenko8250]

good video. how long it took to reach shavano ?

[@finnstrailadventures]

As a native of Salida, I was cringing about the pronunciations, lol! I loved the video though!

[@derpmeow7282]

Do you have a video when you had that storm roll in? I came from your video talking about the difficulties of the 14ers.

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

Unfortunately not - just some pictures I reference every once in a while.

[@chriswinter8972]

Funny enough, I’ve somehow been saying Tabegouche correctly, but still Shavano wrong. Who even has a clue about Uncompaghre? We just can’t win lol. Love the videos man! Keep em coming! My Colorado summer has recently been shortened cause I’m moving to Montana for a bit so I’m trying to crank out as many incomplete 14ers as I can. Everyone, including you, says the Harvard/Columbia traverse is horrible. That still an accurate statement? I’m doing Belford/Oxford/Missouri next week and was planning those after

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

Its been a while since I have hiked Harvard/Columbia and trying to get back there soon to re-do my last video as I think its pretty horrible. From what I remember, Harvard is nice and then going up Columbia is nice, but the traverse to Columbia is somewhat of a mess and then going down Columbia sucks too. However, I think they have done some trail restoration up there so it might be better now.

[@MrJoeTheShow23]

beautiful footage!! love it!

[@HikinginColorado]

Nice work, man! I'm headed up Jennings Creek this weekend

[@tylerwestering6406]

Beautiful views and looks like a nice straight forward hike! It doesn't look like there is much exposure is that true? Thanks again for the wonderful video!

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

Thanks! I would say this hike has almost 0 exposure.

[@haydenhogoboom6310]

What day did you climb this? My friends and I did Harvard / Columbia on Sunday the 15th and the wind up high was BRUTAL. I can really sympathize with your frustration. Anyways, thanks for posting! Your videos are extremely helpful for guiding all of our high elevation hikes

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

Hayden Hogoboom not sure, it was sometime in late May I believe. My garmin is in the full trail guide but yeah, high winds are always tough. Thanks though, glad you enjoyed the vid 👊🏽

[@georgesheffield1580]

Mountain weather , they make their own weather . All kinds of weather and can change it in a flash too.

[@mickeybrumfield764]

Classic 14ers Colorado hiking great views didn't really look to crowded, considering how many people do these peaks. Looks like your becoming the drone expert of the Rockies.

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

My newfound free time has allowed me to hit a lot of these peaks during the off days which has helped a lot with crowds 😂

[@mickeybrumfield764]

@@TheVirtualsherpa Well hitting 3 peaks in one day isn't too bad pretty good work out bet Juno was exhausted.

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

mickey brumfield she was for about 5 hours and then acted like she hadn’t been walked in weeks. She truly has amazing levels of energy

[@beyondhorizons9758]

Great video! Planning to do this is a couple of weeks - couple of questions: 1. What is the best time to start the hike in the morning ? 2. What website do you use for weather forecast on the mountain ? Cheers !

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

Check out the link in the description of the vid - gives the weather source I typically use. In addition, I typically check mountain-forecast.com as well. Start time is too variable depending on the day/hiker but typically a sunrise start is recommended.

[@beyondhorizons9758]

@@TheVirtualsherpa Awesome, thanks !

[@amateurhouradventures]

Uggh, I've definitely have been pronouncing this wrong too! Thanks for the edumacation!

[@Kelly_Explores]

How was the dirt road? Can I make it in a van to the trailhead? Thanks!

great video, me and my dad are looking for a good class 3 14er to do this year, could you give us one?

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

Do you ever air down your tires?

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

Nope, never found that necessary.

Now you have me saying it wrong🙃
