Mount Bierstadt is a beautiful hike that's not too difficult and it's right there too.

What a misleading statement. Yes, Mt Bierdstadt is beautiful, it is close to Guanella Pass and it's an easy day-hike to the summit. But you have to go through the infamous willows on the way. I've climbed it three times when I was younger. I must have been out of my mind. BTW that's also a good place to hunt ptarmigan.
I'll meet you in the parking lot at the Pass at 09:00AM on the 17th.
