According to the weather forecast, it was supposed to be a wet and stormy weekend all throughout the mountains of Colorado, but I hoped to squeeze in the hike Saturday morning before the rain started up again. We drove through Meeker and Craig to Steamboat Springs and then headed north along the Elk River to the base of Hahns Peak to find a campsite for the night. This is a part of Colorado I have never been to before, so I was looking forward to exploring new terrain!ĭiane was able to get away from schoolwork for a little bit and come with me this weekend, so I only worked for half a day on Friday and we left home shortly before noon. There is some confusion as to whether Hahns Peak belongs to the Sierra Madre or the Elkhead Mountains, but according to SummitPost and the book History of the Elkhead Mountains, Hahns Peak is the eastern-most point in the Elkhead Mountains. Last year Diane and I hiked to the Fairview Peak Fire Lookout, which is the highest fire lookout in North America, so this year I decided to check out the Hahns Peak Fire Lookout in the Elkhead Mountains north of Steamboat Springs.
