Looking back at the path taken for Black Cloud. Twin Lakes on the left. You carry your bike up the backside of this ridge to a small saddle, then continue to carry your bike along the entire ridge to the peak.

Half way to the summit of Mt. Elbert. About a mile after tree line.
There was a little bit of snow at the top on 07/01/23 but nothing on the trail.
Mt. Elbert Summit
Dropping in off the top looking to the south. Very loose and steep but super fun.
The peak is just a "stones throw" away. You have to forge your own path here. Bike carry mandatory.
