Bagging 14ers is a popular pastime among Colorado hikers, but for those looking to summit all 53 of the state's highest peaks, there's one that poses some unique challenges. Culebra Peak, in southern Colorado, is the only Colorado 14er – that's a mountain over 14,000 feet – that lies entirely on private land, requiring a permit to hike it, and reservations for 2025 have just opened.
Culebra Peak is the highest point in the Sange de Cristo range and reservation slots to climb it are now open for January through July.
