Description
This trail begins at Pt 13,800, an unnamed 13er which can be easily reached via ATV. It is the only singletrack portion of the Mt. Antero hike. Cross a rocky ridge toward Mt. Antero. It's easiest to stay just to the right of ridge proper - it's flatter and less treacherous. Once across the ridge, continue up some class 2 talus for about 400 ft to reach Mt. Antero's fairly large summit. The views are slightly unique, as there's way more road than on any other Sawatch 14er.
