The trail to 14er Mount Sherman is a 40 minute drive from the Sunset Suite. This is the easiest 14er for those who have never hiked one, but it's still difficult! The out-and-back hike is 5 miles round-trip and 2,000 feet elevation gain. There are stunning views at the top as there are with all 14ers. PLANNING Bring plenty of food and water, usually 1.5 liters per 2 miles per person for a 14er, as well as sunscreen, warm layers, hat, gloves and raingear. Set out before 6 am and get off the mountain before noon to avoid afternoon thunderstorms.

See the old Leavick mine and the 14er Mt. Sherman. From Fairplay, drive just over a mile south on U.S. 285 and turn right onto County Road 18. Drive 10 miles to a large parking area at 11,250'. This is the Leavick site. There is a large mine building on the right before the parking area. The road starts to get rough after this point but passenger cars can slowly drive another 1.5 miles before the road gets harsh. There are a couple of small pull-offs between 11,700' and 11,900' and more parking before a gate near 12,000'. The gate is usually closed. In winter, the road is usually plowed only to 11,100' which is one mile below the Leavick site.
