    Such a beautiful area. Elbert is a fun hike. I must try the pasta next time I’m out that way.
    Thank you all for the wonderful adventures you let us see through you.
    God Bless and keep sharing all the fun. ❤

      Thanks, Matt. We absolutely love the Leadville area, and the views from the top of Mt. Elbert are incredible. Thanks for following our journey and for encouraging us along the way.

    What an achievement, congratulations to you and Jacob. So sorry Paula was not feeling well and not able to join you both at the top. Can’t even imagine how extremely tough 4500 ft of climbing is. Those views you captured at the top were absolutely breathtaking.
    So nice to have Jacob part of this series.

      This was the hardest 14er that we've done. The elevation plus the relentless climbing made for a really hard hike. But the views at the top made it all worth it. Thanks for watching. We appreciate you!

      Hey a 13 year old here. me and a class of kids maybe 20 did this last week it was so foggy you could not see but a few feet in front of you. One of my friend fell and rolled backward because he couldn’t see anything. it then started hailing while above tree line. And with the relentless false summit, freezing cold temperatures and hail only four people made it to the top. me two of my friends and one of the four teachers. It took us 4 hours and it was the hardest thing I have ever done

      Thanks! Hiking a 14er can be a great experience. It certainly helps if you are acclimated to the altitude. By the end of the day, we all felt good and were ready for the yummy pasta.

      Awesome! You will love it! Beautiful views, but the climb and the altitude make it a really difficult hike. Start early to avoid being at the summit when the afternoon storms roll in. Most of all, enjoy!

    Have you been to the highest points in any other states?

    • @MissionAmerica

      We have been to the high point in South Dakota and are planning to do the high point in Texas next week. I'm not sure if we have done any others.

    Thanks for the video! I'm hoping to make this hike in August 2023. I will be traveling in a small 25 foot RV. Do you know if I will be able to park it at the trail head?

    • @MissionAmerica

      Thanks for watching! We remember the parking lot being pretty large, but it is a very busy trailhead and fills up quickly. Also, the roads to the some of the trailheads are really bad so you. might want to check this out before you take your RV. We can't remember if this was one of the terrible roads, but some of them are almost undriveable unless you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Enjoy your hike! The views from Mt. Elbert are amazing.

    Apparently Beaver Geography considers Mount Whitney to be the tallest peak in the Rockies for some reason.

    • @MissionAmerica
      @MissionAmerica  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not sure what Beaver Geography said, but Mt. Whitney is in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, and Mt. Elbert is the highest point in the Rockies, according to the National Park Service and United States Geological Survey. Such a beautiful place wherever it is 🙂.

      @@MissionAmerica I think it’s because Beaver Geography considers the Sierra Nevada to be a subrange of the Rockies.
