4 Fourteeners Continued....

Yay!! We made it to the top of Mt. Lincoln. Three down one to go!!! I was so glad I decided to summit this mountain.. this was by far the best of the four mountains. It was beautiful on top and we spent about a half hour on top eating lunch and enjoying the view.

You feel on top of the world when you up there! And you literally are!

Guys.... always goofing off!

Mt. Lincoln~



Are they mocking us???





Four Fourteeners in a Day!

Mt. Cameron- #2
Top of Mt. Cameron. Second peak we summitted. It was crazy windy up here so we took a few photos and kept on moving.

This is on the traverse between the first and second peaks. I was exhausted after the first and second. Almost skipped the third, but decided to plow ahead. So glad I did!


Mt. Democrat!! Made it up the first... 3 more to go!




We woke up at 3:00AM and started climbing around 7:00AM. The round trip effort included a 7 mile trek across four fourteeners. It took close to 7 hours to complete the hike and we summitted all four mountains. First mountain was Mt. Democrat... this picture shows the group slowly hiking towards the top.

Quandary Peak

Ashley decided to go hiking crazy this summer. I joined her on a couple of her adventures and had a great time. I now know how out of shape I am. I hiked 5 fourteeners this summer and didn't work out a day. Not a good idea! Andy joined me on the last 4 we hiked (it was a combo set). Here are pics from the first fourteener of the summer... Quandary Peak... 14,265 feet.
