Re: 10/4-10/9
My wife and I are going to be there at the same time.We are planning on doing Lincoln, Cameron, Democrat combo as well as Sherman on Monday and Tuesday, any one have advice/conditions for those? Then we may go to Torreys on Thursday. We have hiked Bierstadt, Evans and Grays and y'all should have no problems as long as the weather allows it. We could of easily done Torrys the same day as Grays but the wind was brutal and was coming right over Torrys the day we did it. Good luck and I hope the weather is good for all of us! If yall want to join me and the wife yall just let us know.

Re: 10/4-10/9
We got quite a bit of snow here in the Northern Sawatch area, I suspect those peaks did as well. We only got a couple of inches at my house at 8,100' on Thursday night. While we were getting a cold rain during the day, the peaks were getting dumped on. I suspect well over a foot of snow at elevation above 11,000'. Weather forecast is for clear and cold. Mountain Weather is forecasting high winds, freeze/thaw conditions (look out for ice). The road to Grays can be challenging for low clearance vehicles. Bring you mico-spikes or crampons, poles, gaiters, extra gloves etc... I would bring my ice axe, but it is probably not necessary.

Not as young as I once was and not as old as I want to be.

Hey There, we actually met you guys on Quandary. We met right in the midst of the goat blockade.dallas23 wrote:My wife and I are going to be there at the same time.We are planning on doing Lincoln, Cameron, Democrat combo as well as Sherman on Monday and Tuesday, any one have advice/conditions for those?

We ended up doing the Echo Lake to Summit Lake hike on Sunday, Bierstadt on Monday, Torreys and Grays on Tuesday and Quandary on Wednesday. Great weather the whole time. Camped at Chicago Creek the whole time, had it mostly to ourselves except for a couple of one night campers and a bear just a little larger than a school bus.
