double check! Today I conquered both Grays (14,270) and Torreys (14,267) Peaks - both 14ers (mountains with summits over 14,000 feet above sea level) and two of the highest peaks in the continental United States. What a challenge! I am so happy to check this one off and to have shared the experience with Mike, Summit and my Dad! 9 miles and 3,600 feet up - I can check number five off!
getting started with views of Grays
our goals - Grays, the smooth peak on the left and Torreys, the right jagged peak.
on the trail with views of our first goal, Torreys
almost to the saddle with views of our tiny trail winding through the valley
we made it to the saddle. our first peak, Torreys, looming behind us
We made it! Bagged our first 14er!
