Leapfrogged with a few other hikers but it's pretty quiet out here!
Temps were perfect. Low 60's. Had a few decent climbs but I already felt better than I did yesterday.
We got in some good mileage today and are camping at the trail junction with Mount Elbert. Highest fourteener in Colorado.
That's Elbert with a dusting of snow. The weather looks good tomorrow morning (fingers crossed) so we are going to take the side trail (not part of the CT) and hopefully summit it tomorrow morning.
Got to our camping spot and the thunder started up after a beautiful day. Got our tents up, climbed inside and this happened...
A bit of hail. Not to bad and didn't last long. I was happy to be in my tent! Again! The storm passed relatively quickly and the sun popped back out.
Early to bed so we can be on the trail early tomorrow. And...there is the hope of some town food at Twin Lakes as a summit celebration if things go as planned.
