Mt. Evans 14,265′ (Colorado)

Proud of my big boys for completing their first 14er. This brutal hike took us just over 7 hours to complete.

Taking our first breather, considering the trailhead starts at an elevation of 12,850'.

The summit is in sight but so far away.

Navigating through rough terrain. Finding the trail was tricky at times.

At the summit of Mt. Evans.

The view from the summit.

A good portion of the trail looked like this. 😬

Quickly passing by a mountain goat that gave us a mean look.

Going back down to where we started, Summit Lake.

One last break before our final push home.
