Started out before sunrise at Mt. Elbert trail head, 10K+ elevation. First time starting a hike with head lamps.
We hiked past a stream, some fences, up and up. The sun rose and it began to snow.
At tree line, Mt. Massive was in the clouds and the aspens beckoned.
Going up in freezing fog,
turning around after howling winds and heavy snow,
and coming down.
No one made it to the summit yesterday morning. Maybe next time. And now I'm heading home.
