Surviving the Colorado 14ers Mark K Witte

Not many families decide to take 24 years to work on the same goal together but that is precisely what Denny, Mark, and David Witte accomplished. In August of 1991, this family trio hiked their first Colorado 14er together, beginning what was unbeknownst to them at the time, a life-changing quest as a family to summit all 54 of Colorado's tallest peaks. During this adventure from Quandary to Capitol, the three participated in a search and rescue, experienced lightning, blizzards, whiteouts, turnarounds, inspiring summits, and jaw-dropping views, all while reveling every minute of the hikes.
