Mount Elbert stands at 14,439' making it Colorado's highest point! Even though Mt. Elbert is the tallest its actually one of the easiest 14ers to hike. We decided to hike up the southeast trail, this route is a lot more strenuous than the regular route but we avoided all the crowds! This hike ranks up there with one of my favorite hikes of all time, definitely my favorite 14er in Colorado.
