Windom Peak

And today (8/15) is Bob's birthday! :-)
Happy Birthday, honey! I love celebrating on a mountain top with you!
Sweet summit shot of John & Jenn!
John, Jenn, Bob & I set a great pace on our hike this morning. I think we reached the summit around 9am. Rich wasn't able to join us since he woke with an altitude headache & didn't want to risk getting worse by increasing elevation. Rich instead packed up & headed down to catch the 3:30pm train to Durango.
After the 4 of us enjoyed snacks & the good weather on Windom Peak, John & Jenn hiked back to camp. They too packed out to catch the 3:30pm train. Bob & I said our good-byes on Windom & we headed for Sunlight Peak (another 14er we wanted to summit today). Bob & I will be staying at camp tonight & taking the train tomorrow.

Sunlight Peak

Bob & I were successful in reaching the top of Sunlight Peak! However, since the clouds were rolling in & there was some rain we did a quick turn around (only took a couple summit pics & touched the survey marker). I wish we could have enjoyed the view but it was best to get down safely. Luckily the clouds did not continue to threaten and 1/2 way down the day cleared up.
PS: I'll put up more photos from this day on a future post. Just summit shots for now.
Another successful day....again the pics made us feel we were there!
