Steffen and I try and do at least one fourteener a year, and this year we completed
La Plata Peak This is a nine mile round trip hike starting at 10,000 feet and finishing at 14,336 making it the fifth highest peak.
After an early start and long drive to the trailhead, we set off at 7:00am and hiked to the top. The start of the trail is in the forest and runs parallel to the river, the last few miles are brutal steep uphills with some rocks to traverse.
We made it to the top in 3 hours 18 minutes and back down in 2 hours 9 minutes. All in all a great hike.
