La Plata Peak

Yep this is already getting old lol. The third peak with similar mileage, views, and terrain profile, all while taking the same amount of time to summit. Although I will say that this probably had the best views of the Sawatch Peaks we’ve done, probably because there is greenery & vegetation as I’m learning.

Notes

  • This was probably ~9 miles and ~4500 feet of vertical gain in about 4 hours and change.
  • We did have a funny interaction with some doubters who didn’t think we were going to make it lol.
