SUMMARY:4th Annual Formal on a Fourteener
LOCATION:Gray's And Torrey's Peak, Colorado
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Join us for the 4th
Annual Formal on a Fourteener, where we get together once a year with frien
ds old and new for a fun formal meetup. We will hike to the summit and chan
ge into formal clothes for a photo shoot. Please come with a positive and e
ncouraging attitude, and be kind and respectful to the environment and othe
rs on the trail. This year we will be hiking Grays and Torreys Peak(s)! The
se are some of the easier peaks (as 14ers go).
The summer trailhead is roughly a 1 hour dr
ive from Denver, but it fills up quickly so you may need to park 3 miles lo
wer at the winter trailhead if you arrive late. This is a very popular hike
so expect the trail to be very busy. I will be car camping at the TH the n
ight before. We will meet at the trailhead at 5:15AM, leaving at 5:30AM SHA
RP. If you're late you'll need to catch up or meet us at the top.
~NOTE start time is from the TH, NOT
the parking lot(s). If you are forced to park at the lower trailhead then y
ou will either need to catch up or factor in the extra mileage ahead of tim
e.
You can have the option o
f climbing Grays either before or after the photo shoot depending on time a
nd weather, but the shoot will be on Torreys. One changing tent will be ava
ilable at the summit of Torreys. Start changing as soon as you summit so we
don't bottleneck the line to change. Dogs welcome (I'm bringing Kyboy and
Trekker).
NOTE THIS IS NOT A
GUIDED OR ASSISTED EXCURSION. This is a public meetup. While I am happy to
help or advise as I am able, please use your own good judgment and partici
pate at your own risk, especially if you are new to 14ers.
If you're planning on the combo route it wil
l be 8.25 miles RT, Torreys ONLY is 7.75 miles RT from TH (add appropriate
mileage if you park along the road or in the lower lot). See link below or
Combo: Grays and Torreys route on
14ers.com if you would like more info.
PREP TIPS
On the
2-3 days leading up to the ascent hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!!! I cannot st
ress this enough. Hydration helps with acclimation to the altitude, plus yo
u will lose more water than normal beyond the strenuousness of the hike, si
mply by the extra breathing required to maintain oxygen at altitude.

Be sure to bring:
advil (thins your blood which helps with altitude sickness)
water
light jacket/windbreaker (in case of
rain/hail/wind, it can get chilly at the summit)
hat/s
unscreen
snacks
bug spray
more water
Fin
e print: this is a self directed hike so participate at your own risk.
