Mt Massive was my first 14er, followed by Elbert. I was surprised how much emotion came with summiting those peaks. I really enjoyed reading this, especially now that I've moved out of Colorado. Endless adventure at your fingertips out there.

K's in Buena Vista was always my summit reward, but that mexican looks amazing.

Awesome that you've gotten to spend some time in the Sawatch. Thanks for sharing. 14ers are no joke and the mountains have so much to teach us. I appreciate the kind words and glad you enjoyed. We'll have to check out K's in BV!

Dang, that was a helluva read, felt the journey, the highs and lows and disappointment once again and I couldn't have put it better. Loved getting your perspective in writing -- and in contemplation now that we are days removed from two very intense and beautiful experiences. I may be biased, but I think your writing is becoming more personal and deeper. Keep going ❤️
