Steffen and I conquered another 14er today. After watching fireworks until late for July 4th. I got up early and drove down to Leadville with Steffen and beyond to hike
Mt Massive which at 14,421 feet is the second highest behind Mt Elbert that we had already done
There are two main routes for this, a 13.75 mile round trip gaining 4500 feet in elevation, or an 8.00 mile round trip gaining 3950 feet.

| Easy Start, Brutal finish |
We chose the shorter trickier route and it was a tough one, we hiked up in 3 hours 20, and down 2 hours 20. We actually covered 9.42 miles as we couldn't park at the trailhead.
