Mountain Ranges You Should Visit

14er Route Guides

California is home to 12 peaks taller than 14,000 feet, but they’re much more technical and challenging than their Colorado peers.

There are 130+ 13ers in California. Many of these summits go years without being climbed, offering a true solitude adventure

Other Route Guides

California is home to many peaks shorter than 13,000 feet that still deserve your time and are more accessible for all.
