Our First 14er!

Wow!!! What a weekend we had. Wes and I climbed our very first 14er together on Saturday with a few friends. It took about 3.5 hours (on a very hot day!) but we made it to the top of Gray's Peak!! What a view! It was by far the most incredible site - - God's creation has never looked so beautiful! I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking . . .
The view from about half way up . . . already amazing!

On our way to the top we were very fortunate to see some amazing mountain goats and their little babies. So cute!!
This one wasn't shy at all and we were able to get very close to it . . . it kept posing for the camera too!

We made it!! Whoooo hoooo!!!!!!

We took our time coming back down the mountain and took a few shots of the wildflowers along the trail. I love this picture of the Columbine that Wes took - he's becoming quite the photographer!

A pretty stream along the path

We're already looking forward to our next 14er!!
