Hike Mount Elbert South and North Trails Colorado Have you ever stood on top of a mountain, feeling like you’re on top of the world? If not, it’s time to hike Mount Elbert South and North Trails in Colorado. At 14,433 feet (or maybe even 14,440), this peak isn’t just any climb—it’s an unforgettable journey. Hike to Mount Elbert summit was one of my favorites. I hiked the south trail late June, Aspens were just leafing out. A lot of mountain bikers ride and carry there bikes to the summit and ride down. The trails offer two distinct experiences. The South Trail is less crowded but steeper; it rewards your effort with stunning forest paths that open up to sweeping alpine vistas. Meanwhile, the North Trail is more popular due to its gradual ascent along the northeast ridge. Both routes present their own set of challenges—from false summits that’ll test your perseverance to unpredictable weather conditions typical of high altitudes. But trust me, every step is worth it for those panoramic Rocky Mountain views at the summit. Learn more: https://getlostinamerica.com/hike-mou...

The trail was gorgeous the whole way. I read that you can mountain bike this trail...if you’re insane. Seriously that would be the most brutal climb. I think I’d have a lot of fun on the way down, but climbing that seems like only something a superhuman could do. We finished our hike and took the long 3 hour drive back to Colorado Springs and crashed hard. All in all a great day of hiking. 12 down, 46 to go!

Another bucket list was marked off on the South Mount Elbert Trail yesterday. We woke up early and started hiking at dusk. The views along the way and sense of accomplishment is beyond words. . Going up is slow with MANY stops to let the heart rate and breathing slow down. Going down is faster but painful on the legs, knees and feet. It was amazing to see some young men carrying their mountain bikes to the summit and then taking a nice long downhill ride. . We discussed which peak to attempt with @ketch022 who has done several. He helped us decide on Elbert by saying "They all will hurt, so you might as well do the tallest in Colorado". . . . #bucketlist #mtelbert #mountelbert #twinlakes #hike #dayhike #summit #peak #challenge #hikecolorado #mountains #landscapes #greatoutdors #14erchallenge #14er #14ers #fourteener #rockymountains #rockies #explorecolorado (at Mt.

#Repost @beer.brat ・・・ I brought two of these IPAs home but idk if they're going to taste as good if I'm not on top of a mountain. 🌄 The tallest mountain in NY is only 5,344 feet tall. Now what do I do!? . . . #drinklikeabrat #drinklikeabeerbrat #mtelbert #mountelbert #mountelbertsummit #coloradohikes #summitbeer #summitbeers #hikingbeer #beerhikechill #finkelandgarf #finkelandgarfbrewing #hikingbeer #hikemoreworryless #beergirl #beergirls #beergirlsofinstagram #beer #craftbeer #coloradobeer (at Mt.
