Mt. Sherman

14,036 ft. - Park/Summit Counties, Colorado

Sherman has a reputation as one of Colorado's easiest 14'ers, though it can still amount to a lung-buster to those of us 'around' forty - especially when climbed in conjunction with its' neighboring 13'ers. These photos were taken on what had to have been the windiest day of the year.
