Summit reached on 2019

Tuesday, ‎September ‎17, ‎2019 | ≈6:38am -START of HIKE-

I was living in Lionshead Village in Vail, Colorado at the time. KD, my co-worker lift operator and shift lead from Vail Resorts, picked me up and we began our hike… the earliest photo I took was 6:38am, so for documentation purposes, I am calling it the start of our hike.

I do remember that it started to rain and sleet, however as we ascended, the view became more graceful and majestic.

KD and I reached the tallest mountain in Colorado. The summit at 14,433 feet above sea level.

The time we reached KD’s car, preparing to drive back to Vail.
