Gain Rosalie, then Epaulie, then Epaulet ( https://www.14ers.com/route.php?route=2 ... 1957562344 ), then continue to Blue Sky. It’s a long hike but your elevation gain will be way over 3,000 feet.
Did this on Saturday - it is indeed a LONG day! I clocked just under 20 miles with skipping the 13er summits on the return by skirting around them.

Very pretty and outside of Blue Sky only saw 2 people all day until very close back to the trailhead.
Nice! Did you catch how many vertical feet? I'm assuming somewhere over 6,000 feet of total gain.
Unfortunately my watch died at the Summit of Blue Sky and I don't have the charger at home so I am waiting on a new charger. I would also assume around 6k elevation.

Impressive. I did it once and knew it was a lot, although I cheated a little and had my wife pick me up from the summit :-D
Century Bound, eventually.
