Today we ( Richard, Mary Ruth, and Alice) climbed the Colorado Trail to The North Mount Elbert Trail. We hiked the highest 1,272 feet of our hiking career (after yesterday). The summit trail was steep, but good footing. The saving grace of this hike was the scenery. We left the car at 9am and returned at 5 pm. This is our highest highpoint to date.
Mount Elbert is the 2nd highest peak in the Continental US. Now we are climbing! I'm still in disbelief.
