On Saturday five of us Sierra Clubbers hiked Quandary Peak (14,265 feet) from the Monte Cristo Trailhead.

Quandary is a quick, easy hike that probably takes the average party five hours round-trip. As always, I would caution beginners and flat landers against the strong possibility of altitude sickness and thunderstorms. On Saturday the storms hit around 11:00 am, luckily we were near the car by then...
