I love Bierstadt. That's a great hike. If you're interested in Mass Consumption, you can do the very nearby Grays and Torreys in a day, and when you're in Leadville you can go a bit south, to Twin Lakes, and do Missouri, Harvard, and Belford in a single day (QUITE a single day) or, for the easiest mass-fourteenering, just northeast of Leadville you can do Lincoln, Bross, Cameron, and Democrat, in probably under five hours. here's a view off the front porch of where I grew up: note Elbert and Massive (and a buncha others.) Oh, and Longs is fun, and a beautiful view, although it's a LOT of work.
