We snag another one!

It was another early morning start with departure at 3am. Herb, Bill and myself arrived at Guanella Pass parking lot at 5:15 am and hit the trail to the summit of Mt Bierstadt at 5:30am.

It was a great morning with no wind and temps in the 40's.

On the way up we passed a couple of groups returning from watching the sunrise...must have gone up in the dark, but full moon lit night.

The hike was pretty straight forward until the boulder field just below the summit. This is what gives this hike a Class 2 difficulty.

We made it to the top in just under three hours and back down in just under two.
