That next day we planned to climb Castle and Conundrum Peaks which would prove to be a beautiful day with the fresh snow that had just fallen. We drove as far as we could up the Montezuma Basin road in Corey's Jeep and found a nice spot to camp. Once we got too cold though we began running down the trail and by 5pm we were back at the trailhead. Its the fifth tallest mountain in Colorado and known for the vast amounts of silver deposits found on its slopes during. The conditions were perfect for taking photos. It was still quite windy at the top but the beauty was top notch.

We were the only ones to summit on this bust September Saturday because of our late start and avoiding the morning storm. Gameplay 1 du Lets Play de Outlast : En bon journaliste avide de scoop, nous nous rendons à lasile de Mount Massive où des choses étranges ont été rapporté. It is the second highest peak in the Rocky. Looking across the valley to Mount Elbert was beautiful (see banner above). Mount Massive at 14,428 feet (4,398 m) is a fourteener in the Sawatch Range of the U.S. We hit fresh snow around 13,600 feet and the final traverse to the summit was under a couple inches of frsh snow which made the scene very pretty. We made quick time heading up the trail to the saddle between Massive and South Massive.

It is a shorter course but it is priced incredibly fair and the views are unbeatable. The weather improved a lot during the afternoon to the point where we could see all the surrounding mountains, the wind had died down and we actually had some sun. The course conditions for beginning of summer are 2.5/5 but considering you’re playing at 2 miles above sea level, they do the absolute best they can when it comes to maintenance. This was one of those days where a late start was a good thing. Mount Massive (14,421) is the second highest point in the state of Colorado and in the Rocky Mountains of North America. We saw many people headed down the trail as we headed up. It was an interesting morning as a cold front had moved through and everyone who started early to climb Mount Massive had turned around due to heavy rain and hail, strong winds and zero visibility.

This was a fun climb since we didn't get started until around 1pm since I had to stay in Golden that Saturday morning for practice. I did Mount Massive via its steep south slopes route from the Halfmoon Creek Trailhead with Corey.
