For the latest newsletter, click here! The first week of September, my wife, Julie, and I decided that we would take some vacation time. We took the top off of my Jeep and headed out to Northern New Mexico, and Colorado. Our goal was to climb Mt. Elbert, the tallest point in Colorado, 14,433 ft. Elbert is the third tallest in the United States, the first being McKinley in Alaska, then Mt. Whitney in California.
We camped at the Twin Lakes Campground, just a short distance from the trailhead. We were taking the Southern Route, 11 miles round trip, but one could drive up a Jeep trail 2 miles, cutting the hike shorter by four miles. Seven miles seemed more than do-able. We jog regularly and usually do a four mile route. No problem. read more |
