We show you the secrets of summitting the High Point of the state of Colorado, Mount Elbert at 14,440' above sea level, (the third highest overall) and the highest mountain in the Rockies. We take the standard (shortest) route to the top from the North Trailhead. We climbed on June 9, 2023.

"Mount Elbert Trails (Fourteener)
Mount Elbert is Colorado's highest peak and the second highest peak in the lower 48 states with an elevation of 14,433 feet. There are two main routes to the summit, which are the South Mt. Elbert Trail and the North (Main) Mt. Elbert Trail, both being well trodden class one trails. These relatively easy paths to the summit are busy in the summer, attracting all types of hikers and climbers.
....
North (Main) Elbert Trail is 4.3 miles long and is located off the Halfmoon Road (FSR 110) southwest of Leadville. The trailhead is just past Elbert Creek Campground. With an elevation gain of 4,400 feet, this trail can be quite strenuous, but definitely rewarding."
