Tomorrow I will be climbing Grays and Torreys Peak. Located an hour out of Denver, CO. These peaks tend to get crowded during the day due to their location to Denver, and their Class 1 difficulty level.
Weather reports are calling for a 40% chance of thunderstorms by the mid afternoon and temperatures in the mid 50s. I plan to reach the trail head around 6am to try and beat the crowds and rain.
The trail head sits around 11,000 ft., and there is a 3,600 ft. total elevation gain. Round trip, the trail is 8.25 miles and summits both Grays (14,270) and Torreys (14,267).
Here is a Topo of the route I plan to take.
