EPIC Backpacking in Chicago Basin: Climbed 3 Colorado 14ers!

Join me on an unforgettable backpacking adventure deep in Colorado's Weminuche Wilderness Area, where I tag along with a friend to summit three iconic 14ers: Sunlight Peak (14,059 ft), Windom Peak (14,082 ft), and Mount Eolus (14,083 ft). We kick off with a scenic ride on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, hike 6 miles with 3,000 ft of elevation gain into the remote Chicago Basin, and camp for 4 days amid jaw-dropping San Juan Mountain scenery. From challenging climbs and route-finding tips to wildlife encounters and safety advice, this video captures the raw thrill of backpacking in the remote wilderness, and is perfect for hikers, climbers, and outdoor enthusiasts chasing Colorado 14ers.

Whether you're planning your own trip or simply want to explore along with me, get inspired by the stunning views and see why pushing your limits in nature can be life-changing. Safety first: Always study 14er routes ahead of time (like using Gerry Roach's books), watch for misleading cairns, and pack smart to avoid any unnecessary weight.
