Hike Mount Elbert South and North Trails Colorado Have you ever stood on top of a mountain, feeling like you’re on top of the world? If not, it’s time to hike Mount Elbert South and North Trails in Colorado. At 14,433 feet (or maybe even 14,440), this peak isn’t just any climb—it’s an unforgettable journey. Hike to Mount Elbert summit was one of my favorites. I hiked the south trail late June, Aspens were just leafing out. A lot of mountain bikers ride and carry there bikes to the summit and ride down. The trails offer two distinct experiences. The South Trail is less crowded but steeper; it rewards your effort with stunning forest paths that open up to sweeping alpine vistas. Meanwhile, the North Trail is more popular due to its gradual ascent along the northeast ridge. Both routes present their own set of challenges—from false summits that’ll test your perseverance to unpredictable weather conditions typical of high altitudes. But trust me, every step is worth it for those panoramic Rocky Mountain views at the summit. Learn more: https://getlostinamerica.com/hike-mou...

A friend and I did this amazing backpack trip in the Maroon bells wilderness in order to access the summit of Snowmass mtn. The ramaining early season snow made the hike in more difficult but it makes the actual climb easier. Experiences like this don't come easy but they are very rewarding.

Last Summer’s Colorado Trip

Holy cow have I been slacking off on the outdoor blog posts! It was a busy year and I had to let this go for a bit, but let’s get back to it: Last July it was time to head back to Colorado for the summer adventure. I had to go solo, so I thought I’d go tick off a mountain that had been vexing me and then just see where things took me. Loaded up the gear, packed the truck and I hit the road…

While working his way down after standing on top of the mountains behind him, Teddy decided he should pause to take in his surroundings in the high country. It's a unique place to be, above the trees. He couldn't stay long, so every moment he had in the thin air had to be cherished.

it's so fascinating the stuff you think about as implicit knowledge. I grew up on a mountain in Colorado and I would never even think to explain what a 14er is. That's just like a thing people know here. Would not've occured to me that that's not intrinsic knowledge. But of course why would some not outdoorsy person from like the plains or the coast know what a 14er is? Colorado has fifty-three 14ers of course we all know what a 14er is here.
