That's Two More Down . . .

Yesterday afternoon my Dad and I returned from a successful trip up Gray's and Torrey's Peaks. As I've mentioned before, we attempted these fourteeners two times already this summer, so I am relieved that we were successful at last. I'll be sure to post a few photos soon, once I have some spare time to breathe (i.e. Christmas break, but hopefully sooner). Wow, I still need to post some photos from our Mount of the Holy Cross trip . . .

In other fourteener news: my Dad met a guy last week in Westcliffe who owns a few cabins near Humboldt Peak, as well as his own trail. He offered to let us stay in the cabin sometime when we want to climb Humboldt. I told my uncle Chuck about it on the phone this morning, and he was extremely excited (since Humboldt is in the southern Sangre de Cristo range, he has a shorter drive from Texas) .

Yet more fourteener news: Culebra Peak, once on the private land of an ex-Enron executive, recently re-opened to the public. In the past, only a few people were allowed to climb the peak every year (and only after paying a fee).
