One of our most requested hikes to the summit of Pikes Peak!  This is a three-day hike with two overnights at the historic Barr Camp where we will experience European-style hospitality.  We also have the option of tent camping in the forest.  Hiking from Manitou Springs (6,412′) to Barr Camp takes around four hours of paced hiking to allow your body time to adjust to altitude.  We overnight and acclimatize at 10,200′ and then wake early the following morning for the ascent of Pikes Peak.  The journey from Barr Camp to the summit involves roughly six hours of hiking along a well defined but rugged trail.  Dividing the summit trek over two days is a truly enjoyable way to experience this 14er!  After taking in the views from the summit, we will hike back down to Barr Camp.  Day three begins with a hearty breakfast and culminates in a pleasant walk back down to Manitou Springs.  This is a year-round route option; hiking Pikes Peak in the winter months may require snowshoes and other considerations may be necessary.  This itinerary and route offers great high altitude training for climbers preparing for Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, and beyond.

For those climbing Pikes Peak or any 14er for the first time, a guided ascent will greatly improve your safety margin as well as maximize your chances of summiting successfully.  We are happy to impart our knowledge of high altitude trekking and mountaineering along the way.

3-Day Ascent includes lodging at Barr Camp, meals, and professional mountain guides.
