Quandary Peak

We arrived at the base of Quandary Peak around 6:30 a.m. MT to climb the standard East Ridge route.  

The trailhead parking fills up fast early in the morning.  We parked along the road which was very easy to find from Breckinridge.

First look at the peak after making it through the treed area.

Now the real elevation gains begin.

View from the summit!

Luckily the summit of Quandary Peak is large because a lot of people climb the mountain on the weekends.
