Mt of the Holy Cross

A few minutes before sunrise.

Mt of the Holy Cross

My 27th Colorado 14er

Grays and Torreys

Watching sunrise at 14,000+ feet elevation above sea level is always a treat. I always try to find other 14ers around me and see how they look in the morning light.

Do you know what are these two?

If you said Grays and Torreys Peaks, you are correct. From the top of Mt Bierstadt you can easily see Mt Evans, Longs Peak and Grays and Torreys. Might be able to see other as well.

I wonder how many people were at this time on those peaks… looking in my direction as sun was rising behind me.

Mt Evans

Sun is exploding on top of Mt Evans summit. It was nice sunrise with Mt Bierstadt summit filled by sunrise watchers.

I took this photo and started my descent via sawtooth ridge to summit Mt Evans, making it my 26th 14er.

Mt Shavano 14,231

This is my 25th 14er in Colorado. Was greeted with nice sunrise, a few mountain sheep and goats. Overall good hike!
