Finally I was able to get to a peak! With all the snow, I've stayed down low so far this season. so the chance to stretch my legs and attack some rocks was welcome. We decided to climb Mt Lady Washington from the east - less trail and quite a few more rocks - almost a mile up with a gain of almost 2000 feet. But it was so fun to be on the granite again, and the view from the top as you climb over the last rock, and Longs Peak appears in your face is not to be missed.

We came down via the west ridge and back onto the regular Longs Peak trail just below the Boulderfield. A herd of 30 to 40 elk was happily enjoying the sunshine and the grass. A few calves still had their spots and were hidden among the rocks.
