The climb up the mountain (I can’t remember the name of it for anything) was awesome. It kicked my behind-side but it was a good experience. If you come to Colorado (assuming you don’t live here) I’ll take you up there to see it even if you don’t hike it. I’ll have pictures up soon. The air up there is… thin. or what feels like make-believe. It is like God let Mr. Rogers design the air because it was really hard to breath as I was ascending. However, the ascention was slowly but surely achieved and we had a great view of all sorts of mountains and hills. You will see in the pictures that they don’t do justice to the real thing.
The hike averaged 1,000 feet of climb every mile (so 3 miles = 3,000 feet up) as we started around 11,004 feet. Cool stuff, but completely exhausting. I’ll report more when I wake up from the tiredness.
