Trip up Grays and Torreys

On top of Grays, looking over at TorreysA couple of goats on Grays

A couple weeks ago hiked a pair of 14ers with a couple of the AmeriCorps folks(Laura and Julia) that just finished up their year with Habitat and wanted to do some hiking before they left town. I must say the 9,000 ft elevation gain from here in Boulder to the top did not agree with my not yet fully acclimated lung capacity, so while there were frequent "breather breaks", it was a great time. Even got to see some mountain goats. Had a bit of an adventure getting to the trailhead over the "4 wheel drive/high clearance recommended" road in Julia's car(I'm sorry I ever doubted you mystique), but were able to climb both and be back down before the afternoon storms hit. That's 4 down, 50 more to go...
