In Lake County, northwest of Twin Lakes, is the highest point in Colorado, Mount Elbert. I climbed it with two friends, one early August day. We counted at least 80 people on this, the most popular of several routes up the mountain; the Mount Elbert Trail. Please click on the thumbnails to view larger pictures and trail descriptions.
