The western Elks are really a cool part of the range.  Overall, not as high as the rest, but rather beautiful.

How would a last 14er be without a quick nip of scotch at 8:45 AM?

    I was all smiles and high fives until I saw the shot of your foot. Now I am speechless and slightly disturbed. LOL!
    Great job.

    Great pics, Jordan. Looks like a stellar day up there and so cool you joined Matt for his finale. Congrats again, Matt! Jordan, it sort of seems like forever ago we climbed/skied Snowmass for your finale and ate at Whitehouse. Good times, man.

    Nice work Jordan; way to help out a friend. I see Treasure Mountain lurking in the background of three of your photos; 4700′ vert from summit to creek.
    See you at the Onion
