Plans didn’t work out to do Wyoming’s tallest peak in August, so I went with plan B and did three good peaks back east with my brother-in-law.  First up was on the south slope of Mt. Frissell where Connecticut meets Massachusetts. Full trip report coming soon…

Woo hoo, got Elbert too!! Gorgeous day here in Leadville to touch the top of Colorado (also the 2nd tallest peak in the lower 48).  Went up one way, came down another to make it a loop back to the car.  Blue skies, not much wind, no issues with snow.  Turned out to be a…

The first of my Summer Series of State Highpoints for 2021 turned out to be unsuccessful attempt of Mt. Sunflower.  After having done much harder highpoints with relative ease (CA, MT, UT, ID, NH), I never thought I’d be denied this one! Our 4-state Highpoints loop started in Denver on Memorial Day with Kansas to…
