We are so excited to be bringing another team back to Colorado to take on a 14’er. This is a rugged adventure that will spend 2 nights in a tent in the Colorado backcountry. We are open to taking novice trekkers on this adventure, but there is no such thing as an easy 14’er. Team members will be expected to devote themselves to a season of training and preparation in the weeks/months leading up to the trip.
This is a car camping trip, so no backpack is needed for this adventure. We will drive to our campsite and setup our camp.
Dates: July 16-19, 2026
Some team members will choose to drive their own vehicles directly to Buena Vista, but we are also happy to arrange pickup and drop off at Denver International Airport. Transfer to/from Denver is included in the trip cost.
Team members that are flying in will need to arrive in Denver airport NO LATER THAN NOON on July 16th and plan to depart on July 19th.
***Mt. Harvard Add-On***
Team members joining our Huron Peak team have the option of pigging backing our Mt. Harvard adventure (July 12-16) together with Huron Peak to make a total of an 8 day adventure with two summits. Our Mt Harvard adventure costs $1,150 on it’s own, but those doing both Harvard and Huron together will get a $500 discount ($250 off of each adventure), and can do both trips together for $1,625.
Cost: $975 per person
- A non-refundable $400 deposit is required at the time of registration to secure your spot on the team. Please read our Trip Cancellation and Refund policy before registering for your adventure.
- Full trip payment of $975 is due before June 1st, 2026.
- We will work with each team member to arrange a payment schedule.
What is included:
- All food throughout the duration of the adventure–a typical day’s menu will be light breakfast (bagels/cereal/oatmeal), sandwiches and snacks for lunch, and a bagged camp style meal for dinner.
- One nights in a hotel/airbnb and 2 nights in a tent in the back country.
- All ground transportation throughout the trip, including transfer to/from Denver International Airport
What is NOT included:
- Team members are responsible for their own flights to and from Denver or their travel directly to Denver should they choose to drive their own vehicles.
- Team members are responsible for their own trekking gear (sleeping bag, sleeping pad, pillow, clothes, hiking shoes/boots, trekking poles, head lamp, etc.) We will provide an extensive and detailed packing/gear list for all of our participants.
- Though meals are provided, most team members will choose to supplement with their own snacks for the backcountry and climb days.
Trek Difficulty: Difficult
Huron is a low level class 2 peak–Most of the peak is class 1 hiking, but there is a small amount of class 2 trail near the summit of the peak. Many people consider Huron the most scenic peak in the Colorado. We have summited it multiple times and each of our teams have loved their experience on the mountain.
Huron is not among the toughest peaks in Colorado, but there is no such thing as an easy 14’er. Consequently, we recommend all of our team members devote themselves to a season of training before attempting this trek. The more cardio fitness you can obtain before your adventure, the more you will enjoy the hike to the summit.
Itinerary:
Day 1 (July 16th)
Team members will arrive in Denver (BEFORE NOON) and we will make the drive to our team campsite. We will enjoy a camp style meal around the campfire before our first night in the tents.
Day 2 (July 17th)
This is our built in acclimatization/devotional day. There is no real agenda for this day other than to spend some devotional time with the Lord and ready yourself for the climb that is coming on Day 3. You will need to bring your lunch for this day, but dinner will be another camp style meal around the campfire.
Day 3 (July 18th)
We will be up early and headed to the summit of Huron Peak. This will not be a particularly long climb, but it is steep in places. The challenges of the day will pale in comparison to the epic views of wildflowers along the trail and then from the summit. Huron is located in the midst of the collegiate range, so literally a dozen peaks are visible from it’s summit. After summiting, we will work our way back down to our tents, break camp, and drive to Denver for a much needed shower in our team hotel and celebratory dinner.
***One note about this itinerary. This is an aggressive summit schedule. We normally prefer to have people summit on Day 4, but we built this trip for those who simply don’t have that many days. If you are worried about the aggressive schedule, perhaps you should consider one of our other 14’er itineraries or add on the Mt. Harvard adventure to better acclimatize.
Day 4 (July 19th)
Team members will travel home on this day.
