Mariel and I both had the chance to go in late to work on Monday. "Yay", I thought to myself, "I'll get to sleep in". Little did I know the little bird that used to live in my basement wanted to get up at 2:45, drive to the mountains, hike up some rocks in the pitch black and summit a 14er, drive back, shower and head into the office...
Off to Torrey's we go...
I took this pic AFTER we hiked to the summit of the 14er
We hiked for most of the morning in pitch black, which ended up being really good, since I had no idea how much further I had to go to get to the top.
We met an art teacher from St. Louis who took this pic for us at the top
It wasn't a total "sunrise summit", since we weren't at the summit at sunrise, but we were close and the views were still a-mazing!
about 3/4 of the way up
The sun, almost over the range
Mariel, about 1 hour into our hike.
We ended up summiting right as a huge cloud cover came atop the mountain, obstructing our views. Oh well, at lease we had some great views climbing up and down.
I almost didn't go on the hike b/c I wanted to "sleep". I am so glad I went, I can sleep when I'm dead.
