checking out of the Airbnb room the next morning, heading onto Rocky Mountain National Park.<br \/>\nOriginally, I was looking for a solid YDS class 2 mountain with longer distances and more elevation gain as the final acclimatization before Longs Peak, and for that, Mount Shavano seemed like the perfect candidate. It&#8217;s not too far from our Airbnb (less than 2 hours of driving), it&#8217;s slightly longer and higher (15km roundtrip, 1350m elevation gain) than Quandary Peak and DeCaLiBron, which we hiked the previous two days. And if we were feeling lucky, Tabeguache Peak was a nice add-on.<br \/>\nUnfortunately, that didn&#8217;t take place for a variety of reasons: US285 between Fairplay and Antero Junction was closed for construction (hence needing detour), my friend struggled more with the altitude than I anticipated, and there was chances of afternoon storm today. Instead, we decided to focus on a closer and shorter mountain, and with that we picked Mount Sherman. <\/p>\n<p>There were two trailheads for Mount Sherman, the eastern Fourmile Creek trailhead being the standard one (and closer on maps from our lodge south of Breckenridge), and the western Iowa Gulch outside Leadville. Despite its name, Fourmile Creek flew all the way to the town of Hartsel 23 miles away. The final 12 miles of the road to Fourmile Creek Trailhead was unpaved, the end of which would be too rough for a sedan, so instead, we opted for the longer detour towards Iowa Gulch, which only involved 3 miles of unpaved road.<\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: smaller;text-align: left\">Frankly, I had no idea why \u201cIowa Gulch\u201d isn&#8217;t the standard route to Mount Sherman. It&#8217;s shorter in length, only marginally more in elevation gain, and closer to a major town of Leadville. I guess that&#8217;s due to the many historic mines on the eastern side of the mountain?<\/div>\n<p>At about 8:35am, my friend and I left our Airbnb lodge outside Breckenridge. We made a stop at the Walmart in Frisco, where my friend stocked up on some critical supplies, among which were, much to my surprise, oxygen canisters. What a way to tackle altitude thickness that&#8217;s both ingenious and peculiar.<br \/>\nAt the same time, I had prepared a coat for today&#8217;s hike but came to the awful discovery that I left it in the Airbnb room, leaving only a single layer of shirt on my body. However, the dismay didn&#8217;t last long as I ran into Walmart&#8217;s selection of hard shell jackets on sale at only 10 dollars. And the jacket turned out to be pretty good (after years of usage).<\/p>\n<p>After that, we continued our way towards Iowa Gulch. Much to our disappointment, Waze guided us onto an unpaved \u201cshortcut\u201d outside Leadville, that actually set us back.<br \/>\nIn the end, we arrived at the trailhead at 10:40am. The official parking lot held about 5 cars, but since it&#8217;s near the end of the road, I assume there&#8217;s no risk of parking along the road if the lot is full. After some warmup, we started our hike at 10:50am.<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s GPS tracking:<\/p>\n<div class=\"mobile-hide\" style=\"width:100%;aspect-ratio:6\/5;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameBorder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wikiloc.com\/wikiloc\/spatialArtifacts.do?event=view&#038;id=121840537&#038;measures=on&#038;title=off&#038;near=off&#038;images=off&#038;maptype=H\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"desktop-hide\" style=\"width:100%;aspect-ratio:3\/5;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameBorder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wikiloc.com\/wikiloc\/spatialArtifacts.do?event=view&#038;id=121840537&#038;measures=on&#038;title=off&#038;near=off&#038;images=off&#038;maptype=H\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"splide\" id=\"splide-major-1\">\n<div class=\"splide__track\">\n<ul class=\"splide__list\">\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/20220831_145505.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/thumbnails\/20220831_145505.jpg\" alt=\"Mount Sherman\" \/><\/a><\/br>Mount Sherman<\/br><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Its western face with some exposed rocks among the scree field.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/20220831_150150.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/thumbnails\/20220831_150150.jpg\" alt=\"Mount Sherman and Sheridan\" \/><\/a><\/br>Mount Sherman and Sheridan<\/br><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The trail found an opening between the two mountains and made its way up.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/20220831_105634.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/thumbnails-m\/20220831_105634.jpg\" width=\"48%\" alt=\"Water Crossing\" \/><\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/20220831_105435.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/thumbnails-m\/20220831_105435.jpg\" width=\"48%\" alt=\"Water Crossing\" \/><\/a><\/br><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/20220831_105437.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/thumbnails-m\/20220831_105437.jpg\" width=\"48%\" alt=\"Water Crossing\" \/><\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/20220831_145503.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/thumbnails-m\/20220831_145503.jpg\" width=\"48%\" alt=\"Water Crossing before Mount Sherman\" \/><\/a><\/br>Water Crossing before Mount Sherman<\/br>\n<div style=\"font-size: smaller;text-align: left\">The trail had a few water crossings before starting the ascent.

We ran into a fair amount of returning hikers in this section, who gladly offered us encouragement.

The steep western face of Mount Sherman meant we were given front-row views of Iowa Gulch, town of Leadville, against the spectacular backdrop of Sawatch Range mountains. The eastern face of Mount Sherman was almost flat, and we were partly used to the views from the previous few days, so that&#8217;s less exciting. But it provided shelter from the wind, and offered enough space for the many hikers to spread out.<\/p>\n<div class=\"splide\" id=\"splide-major-6\">\n<div class=\"splide__track\">\n<ul class=\"splide__list\">\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/20220831_132238.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/thumbnails\/20220831_132238.jpg\" alt=\"Iowa Gulch\" \/><\/a><\/br>Iowa Gulch<\/br><span style=\"font-size: small;\">A spectacular view from the summit towards the west.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/20220831_125217.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/thumbnails\/20220831_125217.jpg\" alt=\"Iowa Gulch\" \/><\/a><\/br>Iowa Gulch<\/br><span style=\"font-size: small;\">A spectacular view from the summit towards the west.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/20220831_131350.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/thumbnails\/20220831_131350.jpg\" alt=\"Fields to the East\" \/><\/a><\/br>Fields to the East<\/br><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Vast openness, in a relative sense.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/20220831_132316.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2022\/08\/31\/thumbnails\/20220831_132316.jpg\" alt=\"Mountains to the Northeast\" \/><\/a><\/br>Mountains to the Northeast<\/br><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Front Range mountains.
