Hiked up Elbert this morning and the conditions were perfect. As the previous reports stated there is very little snow on the route, nothing below 12,500' so snowshoes or traction wasn't needed. Started on trail at 6:15 and by the time I got to the snow it had become very soft, I sunk in to my waste in one spot but other than that most snow is avoidable and conditions are great!

Elbert with kids

I'm planning on hiking Mt Elbert with my kids. It'll be our first 14er. We've hiked long hikes before, taking our time. How long should i expect to summit Elbert? We are planning a trip first week in July.
