Mt. Democrat, Mt. Cameron & Mt. Lincoln

14er fever has hit! We'd hiked two 14ers already this year and we wanted to hike more,
so we decided to ditch work one day and hit multiple summits in one day!
We left Denver Monday night and camped out at Kite Lake.
As usual, we woke up early and were on the trail by 5:45am. The weather held out and we had a blast!
Brisco and Mariah joined us. It was a special hike for Mariah since it was her 10th birthday!

 Happy Mariah! |
