Mount Shavano

This past weekend I hiked my first 14er of 2009, Mount Shavano. Mount Shavano is 14236 feet tall. It is about 60 miles south of Leadville. There were actually quite a few people out hiking it, probably because it is one of the few 14ers that doesn’t have a ton of snow on the top. There was some snow for the last 3/4 mile or so, but not too much. It did make for a much quicker descent because I was able to just sit down and slide.
