Humboldt - Colorado 14er Overnight

Overview: This is a beautiful overnight of just over 10 miles that will bring you to a the top of a non-technical 14er. Although Humboldt is pretty easy to climb you'll be impressed at the neighboring Crestone Needles which are some of the most dificult to climb. Make sure to bring a fishing pole as the South Colony Lakes are stocked with trout where you will be camping.

Tips: Directions to South Colony Lakes Trailhead:
From Westcliffe, Colorado drive southwest on highway 69 4.5 miles to Colfax Lane (CO119) where there is a Forest Service sign. Turn right (south) and go another 5.5 miles until the road ends, then turn right on South Colony Road (Forest Service Road 120) for another 1.5 miles where you will find a parking lot. The road generally gets worse from here but you can test your luck with a 4x4. Stop whenever you can't go further or the road is closed by a gate. There are no fees or permits to park here.
