The #CastlePeak avalanche has the makings of a major disaster. And we won't know for sure for several more hours. Rescuers are in contact with 6 skiers, 3 of which are too injured to go on and all of whom are spending the night exposed to a blizzard. No contact with the other 10 for over 10 hours.

Hiking Castle Peak | 14er Route Info, Map & Advice

The Elk Mountains are the most dangerous Colorado mountain range. Their loose, rotten rock makes rockslides and accidents more common than any other peaks in the state. The six fourteeners here aren't to be taken lightly. Hiking Castle Peak is one of the easiest 14ers in the Elk Mountains, great for those looking to get their feet wet in this area without the risk of the Maroon Bells or Capitol Peak. It's still a long, touch climb that deserves to be taken seriously. Before you go hiking Castle Peak, take some time to plan ahead with my route guide below.Is
