📍 Location: Mount Elbert North Trailhead🕓 Hike Start Time: Hitting the trail between 3:00–4:00 AM
(We’ll meet directly at the trailhead — or coordinate rides from Aurora if needed.)
🥾 Difficulty: Class 1 – Beginner-friendly but long and high elevation
🚶♀️ Pace: Very slow and steady — If the average time is 7 hours, I usually take 9–10.
This hike is all about reaching the summit with peace and patience. No pressure, no rush — just a calm, steady journey.
I’m looking for one or more hikers who also prefer a slower pace and want to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. If that sounds like you, let’s connect!
💬 This is my first time organizing a 14er hike, so I’m learning as I go. If you’re experienced — or just kind and encouraging — your support would mean a lot.
🤝 If you’d like to co-host the event with me, feel free to reach out!
🚗 If you have an AWD vehicle and are open to carpooling from Aurora, I’m happy to split gas money.
📬 Message me if you’re interested — we can coordinate details and support each other through the climb.

What to bring:

• Headlamp (early start = dark trail)
• Trekking poles (very helpful)
• Peaceful mindset, positive energy & patience with altitude 🌄
Let’s summit Colorado’s highest peak — slow, steady, and strong 💙
