The Loneliest Monk

Departure time of 3:15pm. By taking driving shifts through the night Tyler, Nicole, and myself were able to arrive in the Sangre de Cristo Range the next morning at 4:30am. After catching a few hours of sleep we donned our backpacks to make the trek to Willow Lake. Our goal? The summits of Challenger Point and Kit Carson Peak.

2,800 miles traveled but everyone of them worth it. From driving through the San Juan Mountains, experiencing the incredible beauty of Zion National Park, the iconic Delicate Arch, and back through the soaring peaks of the Sawatch this trip cemented our love of road tripping.
