Five days after 9-11, we were unsure whether to go through with our plans to climb Mt. Elbert; ultimately deciding it would be the best expression of freedom. After a difficult climb up the the Black Cloud Trail, we spotted a flag on the summit - a poignant reminder of the tragedies five days prior. Our friend, Carol added the second flag.
