Outdoors | The 14 Tallest Mountains in the U.S.

Part of the Sawatch Range in the Rocky Mountains, Mount Elbert is the tallest of Colorado's 58 "14ers," a local nickname for all the state's mountains that reach above 14,000 feet.

The second-tallest peak in the lower 48 states, 14,440-foot Mount Elbert was named after Governor Samuel H. Elbert, who famously never set foot on the slopes. Two main routes lead to the summit, the 4.8-mile-long North Elbert Trail and 5-8-mile-long South Elbert Trail. If you're looking to hike to Elbert's peak, June to September is the best time to climb.
