Pikes Peak, Colorado – 14,115ft

Let’s be clear here. Even though these are easier mountains, we’d still recommend going with an experienced guide to start off. That being said, this peak is one of the easiest to scale, and you’ll have the time of your life. In fact, Pikes Peak is so popular that it attracts up to 500,000 people each year.

Mount Whitney, California – 14,505ft

Mount Whitney is the highest mountain in continental America, but don’t let that frighten you. It has a trail that you can easily follow all the way to the top, and reaching the summit is a real treat.

Mount Rainier, Washington – 14,410ft

Mount Rainier is part of a volcano, which makes it a bit trickier than your typical beginner mountain. That being said, it’s still not much higher than 14,000 feet, making it quite accessible for those looking to get into mountaineering.

During the pandemic, some camps have been shut down and although things are starting to reopen, this trip is recommended for 2021.

There are four routes to reach the summit, but the South one is the easiest and the most popular. Although it is suggested to go with a guide, this route can be done without one if you are experienced enough.

On this route, there are many station camps to sleep at, known as “barrel huts”. They start from cheap, basic shelters to beds with mattresses and stoves. If you want to carry your own gear, you can bring your own tent and pitch it wherever you want!

The mountain is located in Southern Russia at the Western Caucasus and can be accessed with flights from Moscow or St. Petersburg. The 18,510-foot mountain will take about 4-5 days to climb and has incredible views all the way up!
