Steffen and I set off early Saturday morning, and after a 2 hour drive, set off on the trailhead just after 7:30am, 3 hours later, after 6.2 miles, 4,000 elevation feet gain, and a lot of rock scrambling we made it to the top, where I had a celebratory fries and soda.
We headed back down and this was tough, we came down in 2 hours 45 minutes, my ankle was still sore which didnt help and the steepness of the trail didnt allow for a quick route down.
We got back to the car just as the lightning started, followed by hail, so perfect timing.
Mount Evans may well be our next 14er
