+ Mount Bierstadt

I climbed my first 14,000 ft. elevation mountain yesterday! It was amazing. While I can barely move or stay awake today, I had a great time with my old friends, Wes, Dylan, and his girlfriend Alice.  It was so wonderful to see the different ecosystems and plant variations as we climbed the mountain.  The colors of lichen and ground covering plants was gorgeous. We also saw Picas and Marmots in the alpine rocks.
