Red Elephant 26th of Oct.

[Ric]

well we ran Red Elephant, Ive never ran this before, it was fun, some tippy spots, some "tight" spots, and some killer views.
We did 2 recoveries, one was us, lol Chad slid off the trail, but the real recovery took about 2.5 hours. A lone Jeep was running this, and happen to follow the Jeep club, but when he slid off, the jeep club was ling gone.
Heres our lunch spot:

Wow that's some really beautiful back country you guys got there, was that at high elevation? I've always thought about moving out to CO some time, and the more pictures I see of it the more I like it. You see, I'm a backpacker with a serious mountain addiction. Looks like nice wheeling too. :thumbup:

i think red elephant is only like 10,000 ft. i dont really check my GPS that much any more,lol

[Tankota]

Haha, only like 10,000ft. Well since I live at 11ft, 10,000 is high altitude. :D I do like altitude though. The higher I go the less people there are. :hillbill:

lol, true... Colorado does have something like maybe 4 hiking trails that are 14000 ft.

[Tankota]

I would imagine that there are more than 4 trail above 14,000. With all the fourteener peeks you guys have over there (lucky bastards). I hike in the eastern Sierras a bit, and have been above 14,000 several times. I love it! :thumbup:
