Without a doubt, hiking Mt Elbert (the tallest mountain in Colorado and the second tallest mountain in the lower 48) is the HARDEST thing we have done this year. Mt. Elbert is located just outside of Leadville, Colorado where we have been staying for the last week, trying to acclimate to the altitude. Taking on the tallest mountain in Colorado as our first 14er will be a truly unforgettable experience.
