Quandary and the Perfect Day

6 am wake up call followed with a little snacking. Then we headed out on the very short drive from Breckenridge to the Quandary Peak trail head. The day was as good as you could ask for when attempting a 14er. The sky was the perfectly clear and the temperatures was perfect. We began our ascent at about 7:30 am. The trail starts by winding its way through the trees. Once we were about to climb above treeline we encountered our first herd of Sheep. This was awesome because of how close they were and the fact that there were lambs with them, which is not something you see all of the time. Off again up the slopes of Quandary. With just a few break thrown in I made it to the top around 11 am. Since this was my first 14er I decided to take a long break at the top to both catch my breath and enjoy my views that were both well earned and awesome. My father joined me on the summit shortly after I got there. Then after an  hour at the summit I made what was a very fun half jog half hop down Quandary. My only stop was due to another herd of sheep blocking the trail. It was awesome to get down it took only about an hour and a half to cover all of the distance off the peak to my truck. Then it was time to kill mosquitoes while I waited for the rest of my party to come off the mountain. 

Likability 10/10 The only things I recommend is to bring lots of water as I ran out at treeline on my way down. That was also a reason for my haste when getting off the mountain.
