Here are maps and elevation profiles for the Nolan's 14 course over 14 14ers in Colorado's Sawatch Range. Click on an elevation profile to view a map for that profile. I credit Matt Mahoney and Blake Wood for much of the information that went into the creation of the map.

2. Column meanings
Here's an explanation of some of the columns:

The two rows above a profile show estimated time in hours. The upper of the two rows shows estimated time at the pace that it would take to complete the Nolan's 14 course in 60 hours. The lower of the two rows shows estimated time if travelling at my typical hiking speed with a day pack in summer conditions.
The horizontal unit at the bottom of a profile is miles.
The surface color represents the class of that portion of the route.
