Hi All-
My brother-in-law and I hiked a "14er" over the last two days. The summit elevation was 14,270ft (4350m) and we gained about 3100ft in elevation from our base camp at 11,170ft. We hiked Gray's Peak (the highest peak on the US Continental Divide) and Torrey's Peak (14,267ft). Both peaks were adjoined by a sharp ridge and it was a beautiful and very tiring experience! Being 4th of July weekend, it was a great way to spend time with the "real" America.
We woke up at 2:30am and reached the first summit around 6am. After enjoying the view, we set off to the second peak and reached summit around 8:30am. We left for the trailhead shortly after and got back around 12pm- just as the dark clouds rolled in.
I took this photo at about 12,500ft. The sun just came up behind the mountains and I was stunned by the view. Hope you enjoy it.
