	Hiking Mt. Elbert, Colorado Highpoint
		This is the story of a 65 year old Flatlander, in moderately good (but certainly not great!) physical condition who decided to attempt Mount Elbert (elevation 14,433 feet), the highest summit in Colorado and the second highest in the 48 contiguous States.
		The Mount Massive Trail rises abruptly from the Colorado Trail, and after the first few hundred feet of elevation gain I realized that the cumulative exertion of the past week was catching up with me.
		Next day they were planning to do Mount Bierstadt on their way to the Indian Peaks Wilderness, where they were staying for the second half of the week.

	Mount Elbert trip report, 9/24/94 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Roach says in his guidebook that this still rather distant view of Elbert may be discouraging, but I didn't really feel that until going over a couple false summits on South Elbert (14134ft), which I reached at 9:38.
		Although 300ft lower than Elbert's main summit, IMHO this summit had the best views because you could see the rugged terrain around La Plata, which was mostly blocked by South Elbert when looking from Elbert.
		At the saddle between South Elbert and Elbert there's a rockpile labeled as Point 13983, and because it was there, I veered off and up the talus to this very humble summit.
