Jill's first 14ers! Grays & Torreys - 8/3/08
Sunday August 3rd 2008
Through a bit of chance in timing Jill got to hike her first 14er today and bagged two of them! Grays Peak & Torreys Peak are separated by a saddle and based on the “rules” in Colorado for Peaking or “Bagging” 14,000 ft plus peaks allows one to count both of them if you care to add the two to your hiking agenda. Jill has been running a bit and with her legs she can cover some distance. The kids had a sleepover last night and long play day today with some neighborhood friends so Jill & I left at dark thirty and drove to the Grays Peak Trailhead up and off I-70. Seven hours later we made it back to the truck with both Grays & Torreys in the bag.
