As any good 14er hiker should do, we too started at o'dark thirty (as Ms. Sarah Heath would say) around 5 AM. Hiked a good consistent pace for three hours until we peaked Mt. Shavano.
Mt. Shavano is 14,229 feet tall, the southernmost fourteener in the Sawatch range, 15 miles northwest of Salida. Mt. Shavano was originally given the French spelling "Chavanaux", it was named after Ute Chief Shavano who signed a treaty with the United States."
Brian is standing near the sign in log.
Toby had a pretty incredible view as well, looking back from where we hiked up.
Here I am striking a hurry-up and take the photo summit pose, seconds before we headed over to Tabeguache Peak.
