  • Grays Peak is located in Colorado and is one of the 14ers. Many people do Grays Peak and Torreys Peak together. Some people have named this as the easiest 14er in Colorado. Watch as I tackle Grays Peak!

    Did Antero at 60 yrs old, Princeton at 65, came from sea level. Grays sounds like a good one for my 70th birthday.

    Beautiful! I used to do winter mountaineering with a friend, and after a long weekend cross country skiing around Frisco and Breckenridge, we stopped at Loveland Pass on our way back to Denver for a hike along the Continental Divide. We started to climb out of the pass and had to turn around because the wind picked up. 90 mph wind at -15 degrees is not fun at 12,000 feet in January. We literally crawled at times to keep from being blown off the mountain. LOL! So, you asked in the video about 14k adventures. That's the closest I ever got to 14k, so I admire you!

    My first 14-er was Grays! We hiked it for my 30th birthday 3 years ago, and now we are going to do Elbert for my birthday this year.

    Is it busy enough there to keep the bear and mountain lions away. I want to do grays peak bad this summer but I'm scared ill run into a bear or mountain lion.

      @LauraLeanne  3 роки тому +1

      I'm sure it happens but it was very busy! I still recommend always carrying bear spray on your belt but I had not heard of any (and of course had my dog with me)

    How loose are the rocks when you near the summit? I wanna do a 14er on my trip to Colorado in August but I'm concerned about loose rocks on on descend!

    • @LauraLeanne
      @LauraLeanne  3 роки тому +2

      Not too bad at all. I would bring hiking sticks but there were two ways to get up and down and one isn't as steep

    Is Thor on Instagram? What did he say about the goats on the trail?

    • @LauraLeanne
      @LauraLeanne  3 роки тому +1

      Ha! Thor doesn't have his own but he's alllllways in mine which is attached in the description of the video. He LOVES the 14ers so he would give it a 10/10. Also, I pick him up around the goats because I'm scared he will want to play with him and he doesn't have that kind of balance on ridges!!
