    MountLadyWashington001.jpg Jon Knox (shown here) joined Hikemaster Scott on a 4:30 AM start for Mount Lady Washington. By the time the two hikers reached treeline near this bridge on the Longs Peak Trail, the sun was up and shining brightly. image by hikemaster

    MountLadyWashington003.jpg Hikemaster Scott is well-versed in lightning safety, and the concerns are well-documented on this RMNP sign a short ways before the trail heads into the treeless tundra above. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    MountLadyWashington005.jpg Hikemaster Scott was on this same stretch of trail one week ago with a YMCA hike to Chasm Lake, but these flowers were not yet seen: Chiming Bells! Aren't they gorgeous?!!! image by hikemaster

  • Mount Lady...

    MountLadyWashington010.jpg Mount Lady Washington (left) is almost 13,200 ft tall, and would mark the highest point of land that Jon Knox has ever stood on in his life, outdoing his previous high point on the side of Copeland Mountain 3 weeks earlier. image by hikemaster

    MountLadyWashington017.jpg Jon stands at Chasm Junction. Not a cloud in the sky through the morning on this gorgeous day in RMNP. image by hikemaster

  • It's hard ...

    MountLadyWashington020.jpg It's hard not to squint, as Hikemaster Scott (left) and Jon look directly into the sun for a photograph. Mount Lady Washington, today's destination, rises to the right, while the valley containing Chasm Lake sits below Longs Peak to the left. image by hikemaster

  • Now the ha...

    MountLadyWashington021.jpg Now the hard work begins, as Jon picks his way through boulders on the side of Lady Washington--no more easy trail! The Mummy Range rises in the distance to the north. image by hikemaster

  • Eastward v...

    MountLadyWashington022.jpg Eastward view from the side of Mount Lady Washington reveals Twin Sisters and Highway 7 in the valley below. The hikers drove this road in near total darkness around 5 AM. image by hikemaster

    MountLadyWashington027.jpg Hikemaster Scott poses in front of RMNP's 2nd highest peak: Mount Meeker (13,911 ft), appearing here to the southeast. image by hikemaster

  • There you ...

    MountLadyWashington028.jpg There you have it! Mount Lady Washington (RMNP's 13th highest summit) involves a giant pile of boulders. The boulders aren't so big you can't get through, but not so small that you slip and slide. They're perfect size! image by hikemaster

  • Jon takes ...

    MountLadyWashington029.jpg Jon takes another breathing break! The scenery here becomes more exceptional by the moment, offering many photo breaks that help distract weary hikers on the climb. image by hikemaster

  • There he i...

    MountLadyWashington030.jpg There he is! Jon summits the highest peak he's ever conquered in his life, Mount Lady Washington. Congrats, Jon, on your first 13-er! Longs Peak is impressive, isn't it? There may be no better place to experience the "diamond" than here! image by hikemaster

    MountLadyWashington032.jpg The east face of Longs Peak is famed the world over. Technical climbers come here from all over the world to summit Colorado's 15th highest peak (and RMNP's highest) along the face seen here. image by hikemaster

  • The summit...

    MountLadyWashington033.jpg The summit of Mount Lady Washington reveals this great view to the southeast of Mount Meeker. Chasm Lake lies in the gorge 1,500 feet below. Hikemaster Scott and Jon will be down at that lake later in the hike! image by hikemaster

  • Westward v...

    MountLadyWashington035.jpg Westward view from Lady Washington's summit reveals Storm Peak (left, 11th highest in RMNP) and a host of mountains in the heart of RMNP and the Never Summers far off on the west side of RMNP. image by hikemaster

  • Hikemaster...

    MountLadyWashington036.jpg Hikemaster Scott (left) loved taking Jon to his first ever 13-er, and the highest point he's been in his life. So glad to share this moment together. No one else was up here---what a paradise to enjoy! image by hikemaster
