"What a day!!! Started at 425am on the trail. It was steep and we didn't sleep well the night before, so we moved pretty slowly up to Shavano. The hike was beautiful, though! It was already later than we had planned, but weather still looked good, so we made our way to Tabeguache and back as well. I was feeling extra energetic, so I hauled ass down Shavano and up to Espirit Point while Amber slowly descended Shavano. We then hiked out together and got some awesome pizza in Salida!" — Kevin • Sep 1, 2019

"I parked on the summit of Marshall Pass and walked up through the trees to the south ridge and Pt. 12,685. Strong winds made the ridge traverse east to Mount Ouray feel much longer than it was. I retreated to the west face where I scrambled up to the white quartz band and rejoined the ridge to the summit. I returned to Pt. 12,685 and followed the ridge north where I descended to the CT and walked back to Marshall Pass." — WaxDr • Aug 24, 2018

" I climbed Mount Shavano and Tabeguache Peak with the amazing Amy Croudip, and my good friend Julio Soto. It was a beautiful warm and clear day. We also met two other people that continued with us for a portion of the day. On our decent the winds kicked up and was a sustained 30 mph, with gusts of 40-50 mph. You would try to take a step and the wind would blow you in the opposite direction. Made things extra fun and interesting." — IanWright • Jul 6, 2016

"It was a beautiful hike. Got there as the sun was rising and got some good shots through the trees. Hiked a bit on the CT. Also included Tabeguache When Leaving I took a wrong turn and just about got the car stuck....glad I was able to drive out, I was tired. :p" — Brandon-Shinsplint- • Sep 20, 2015

"Got the twofer shavano/Tabeguache. Perfect day, the clouds started building but dissipated like the weather said it would. Contemplated getting Antero but decided I didn't want get to be home to late. These guys are way off the beaten path!" — Ryan_Wallace • Sep 2, 2015
