I climbed Pikes Peak once in my teens. I’d like to do it again, with family.

Pikes Peak would be a good climb for a family especially if lower climbs are done for acclimation to altitude, get fitness boosted and to make sure boots are broken in. Also don’t forget “the ten essentials” because the weather can turn cold. Cotton clothing is deadly in cold rain.
