This blog post is finally here! Two months later, but it’s here! I was talking to someone a few weeks ago and mentioned I hiked a mountain with an elevation of 14,429′ and she stopped me before I could go on and enthusiastically said, “you did a fourteener?!” That’s when I realized what I did was actually a pretty big feat!

A flight to Denver was booked after dinner with Michael one night. We decided we would hike and I let him, the first-time hiker, research where we would go. Looking back now, it was a terrible idea! But hey, I’m alive and here with a story to tell.
