Mt. Elbert, CO

Mt. Elbert, CO straight ahead


On July 16, 2011, we attempted to hike our first 14er. Mt. Elbert, Co, is 14,490 feet. The trail has pretty steep moments, and, though we started out plenty early enough, we just could not make it to the summit before the thunder clouds set in.


The Aspen trees along the beginning
of the trail are amazing!
 
At about 13,500 ft. I decided to head
back because of dark clouds ahead.



The views were breathtaking. This
was taken around 12, 500 ft.
