Mount Princeton

Mount Princeton's summit sits at 14,196'. We set out to hike Mount Princeton thinking it would be relatively easy since you can drive to nearly 11,000'.

The hike kicked our butts though! The dramatic mountain is nearly all rock talus and loose scree fields. There were numerous snow crossings across steep pitches. It took us all day to get up and down this challenging first fourteener of the season. Rio and Loki were hurting from walking on the rocks all day - and they were both happy and relieved to rest in the snow fields and alpine tundra.
