The Aspen District is home to six 14,000 foot peaks. The easiest peak is Castle Peak but this is still a very challenging hike/climb. For your first climb up a 14,000 peak try climbing Mt. Elbert near Leadville. It is the tallest peak in Colorado and a non-technical ascent. The drive is approximately 1 hours from Aspen.
