Had an early morning start yesterday to hike Mt Shavano here in Colorado. The hike was mostly uneventful till reaching roughly 13,000 ft when the wind started to pick up till reaching the summit around 14.2k' (felt like walking like / and \ or getting pushed over by the wind at times). I had planned on hiking to the summit of Mt. Tabeguache since it was only a mile from the summit of Mt Shavano but because of the wind I opted not to, didn't really bother me though I was happy with the hike to the summit of Mt. Shavano.

Hiking up the saddle, the wind here was crazy and caused me some problems but I was laughing and enjoying it though.
Ducked behind some rocks here to secure my hat and grabbed a quick photo looking towards the north.
View of the backside of Mt Antero from the summit of Mt. Shavano.
Smokey view of the southern mountains, I think its Pahlone Peak.
