After crossing James Peak and Mt. Flora we decided to hitch out at the I-70 before ascending the highest mountain of the official CDT – Gray’s Peak.
The views were amazing again, but because we hiked through during the labor day weekend, the Backcountry was full of cars and people die to Denver being very close.
We had hiked out some fried chicken though for our first night out if town and had a relaxed start into the section. But as it is a lot of up and down we were exhausted and wanted to carry the least amount of food up Gray’s Peak.
We hope to be in Breckenridge in 3 days from now.
