Handies Peak is a 14er located outside of Lake City, Colorado. The east slopes route is by far the best way to go up to the summit in my opinion. The hike is 8 miles with about 3,650ft of elevation.

Another good beginners route with a couple of good short side hikes . Use the same trail head for redcloud and sunshine and a couple of high 13ers .

I took this exact route 32 years ago and fell in love with Handies. Your video brought back a flood of memories of a great day spent in the San Juans. Thanks!

What an incredible hike!! I can’t wait to be able to get up and do this now that I know that can drive to trailhead as I have seen comments that you need a high clearance vehicle to get to it . What amazing views !!

Your videos are fantastic! For those without 4x4, where could a regular sedan park and then hike to the TH in summer? Thank you.

Great videos man, thanks for all your good work! I was wondering if you’ve done handies in winter and if so if you have any tips?
@TheVirtualSherpa
@TheVirtualSherpa 2 года назад
Haven’t done it in the winter - loaded with avi risk and a long ass approach with road closures. If you can snag it - just prepare for long day / overnight and make sure snow is stable.

amazing video. I was wondering if you think Wetterhorn peak would be a good first class 3?
@TheVirtualSherpa
@TheVirtualSherpa 4 года назад
Merin Ingalls one of my favorites, a solid choice if you are okay with route finding and exposure.

Great video. You said you were hiking redcloud and sunshine the day after that, me and my dad hiking redcloud and sunshine in about four weeks, I was just wondering if the video would be out by then? Also me and my dad are thinking about hiking snowmass as are first class 3, do you think that would be a good one?
@TheVirtualSherpa
@TheVirtualSherpa 4 года назад
Dara McKinley video should be out in 2 weeks for that 👍🏽 If you guys are okay with very long mileage it’s a fine one but if you want something shorter check out mt Lindsey

snowmass is really pretty but the boulders are endless, and the exposure was too much for me

Is the trail conditions with the rock near the summit better or worse than Sherman & Bierstadt?
@TheVirtualSherpa
@TheVirtualSherpa 4 года назад
Percy White Music probably pretty similar to Sherman but worse than Bierstadt. It’s not horrible, just very steep but it’s such a small section.

American basin so long as your car can get up there

@@TheVirtualSherpa thanks so much for the quick reply. I'll be in Silverton the 4th-11th and would really love give this a shot. Would be my first 14er.

How far in can you go from the trial head to set up and camp
@beccakreidler8290
@beccakreidler8290 3 года назад
It looks like they set up a base camp in some dispersed camping along the road to the TH. If you want to backpack in you should be 1/4 mile in from the TH/road. And, for LNT, it's polite to be 200 ft off trail/out of sight.

I am headed to do Redcloud and Handies next week. Is there somewhere at the trailhead that I could hang my hammock to sleep in?
@TheVirtualSherpa
@TheVirtualSherpa 4 года назад
For sure - loads of camping near the trailhead and along the forest road. I talk more about it in the full trail guide which is linked in the description.

The Virtual Sherpa Are there some decent trees to hang a hammock from?
@TheVirtualSherpa
@TheVirtualSherpa 4 года назад
I didn’t use a hammock so I can’t speak for a specific tree but yes, there are trees in the area.
