I've hiked to Pike's Peak 3 times, as well as one time each for Mount Bierstadt, Sherman and Grays and Torreys. (Why aren't there apostrophes for these last two? :-D ) Next up? I want to hike Mt. Bluesky, Elbert and Quandary. I'm not fast. Average pace, I believe. I use public transportation and due to my colleague/guide recently getting injured in a rock climbing accident, I'd need some transportation. At the least, I can get to Denver or Colorado Springs and meet up from there.

As far as transportation, I know some folks that have used Uber from the airport and then hitched a ride back...not ideal but if you can't get a rental car for the holiday weekend, it could be an option.
