Mt. Elbert   14,433'   Colorado's Highest Peak

My Nephew's (Ryan & Travis) and Niece (Caitlin) were visiting from Florida so I took them along as I hiked Elbert.

This was also the weekend of the Hayman Fire.

Hayman fire hazing

 

Heading back home from Buena Vista we noticed a huge smoke plume.

The Hayman fire filled the sky as we drove closer.

Next are some pix I took.

Firefighters roll in to assist!

 

THANK YOU TERRY BARTON!!
