Another awesome day in the mountains!With little sleep, we hit I-70 this morning to get an early start hiking Grey's Peak (just west of Georgetown, Colorado). Grey's Peak is one of about 50 14,000 foot mountains in Colorado (14ers) and would be the first ever for andrea (and arnie), but not for richard (or dirk)!
The route proved to be rougher, steeper, longer, snowier, rockier, and just plain harder than andrea had expected...but after about 4 hours on the trail we made it to about 13,500 feet. While not quite to the summit still an awesome day. The views from the top were absolutely incredible - we were looking down on other "big" mountains and even saw a mountain goat fairly close up. The snow was up to our knees in places and the trail was often icy, and we can't wait to make another 14er attempt later this summer.
