One of the 58 14ers in Colorado (mountain peaks above 14,000 feet), it is known as one of the easier climbs and consequently very popular. Enlist your art department to have students display pictures of their mountain artwork during performance, or project images of Quandary Peak, many of which can be found online and royalty-free.
