mt. evans, my only 14er...

here we are at the top of mt. evans. we went on july 26th when my parents were in town. it is simply beautiful. although i wish it had been a clear day.



a view of a bunch of other 14ers around.


these little baby mountain goats sure captured mikey's attention.


another view.


the line on the mountain is the road...creepy!


the sign (obviously): america's highest auto road.


a yellow-bellied marmot:


a little lake part way up:


if you click up close, you can see my dad driving up the mountain:
