Our first stop in Colorado was the city of Leadville which is famous for being the highest incorporated city in the US at 10,200 feet.
Meeting us there was (R to L) Tonya, Brad, Chuck and Ted (not pictured). This group is attempting to summit Annapurna next year. They come to Leadville from Boulder to train at the high altitude.
Lincoln came along to ice climb.
While the crew went ice climbing, Rebecca and I went snow shoeing.
Behind me is Mount Elbert, the highest peak in CO at 14,400 feet and the second highest peak in the contiguous US.
There was about a foot and half of snow on the ground.
One of the frozen lakes on the Colorado Trail.
At the trailhead is a 100 year old Fish Hatchery that supplies most of Colorado with its trout.
