I summitted all of the Sawatch 14ers with my wife this summer. The first were Shavano and Tabeguache on May 26 and the final were Harvard and Columbia on September 19.

Elbert - Intro to the Sawatch
Beautiful Range

stunning
just spent nearly a week camping here, with bonus successful ascent of elbert. what a magical place.
Most of the Collegiates , Elbert and Massive too. These were the first big mountains I hiked outside of the Pike's Peak area, and still some memorable views and times.
Been up more mountains in the Sawatch than I care to admit. Big, bulky and easy range. Easy access too. Nothing particular amazing about the range but Ice Mountain (Three Apostles) is/are amazing. Holy Cross is sweet too.
Huge elevation gains for these peaks.

Amazing range
Did some exploring/climbing/scrambling up here and camped on a 5'x5' flat area on the side of a mountain. Made for an uncomfortable and mostly sleepless night but we had amazing views of an intense meteor shower that just happened to occur while we were there.

Lots of OptionsHave spent many weekends here. Nice to backpack into and hike a few peaks. Elkhead Basin in the Fall is one of my favorites.
