Quandary Peak
Quandary Peak is another one of the simple climbs to start with, but it is much steeper than I had anticipated. I used the Monte Cristo Trailhead approach and arrived late at the trailhead. Found the last parking spot on the very far left side. The trail gives you everything it has in the beginning, starting steep and remaining as such for much of the duration of the climb.
The trail is simple to follow, but keep in mind that another trail merges with the Monte Cristo about 1.5 miles into the climb. Keep an eye out for that junction so you can get on the correct trail on the way down. Otherwise it is a 1.5 mile hike to your vehicle from that trailhead.
Along with me on the climb: No one
Total Round Trip Time: 4 hours
