Today we drove from Denver to the top of Mount Evans, which is over 14,000ft above sea level. We managed to walk the last small part to the top, but at that altitude even a fairly modest bit of walking gets the heart pounding, and feelings of light-headedness. The sun is very strong at that altitude too.
After we'd reached the summit we headed down, and paused for lunch by a lake - still at 13,000ft above sea level.
We then decided to treat ourselves on the last night and booked into the Four Seasons at Vail, Colorado. I had a swim.
Tomorrow we will head to Denver and get the plane home, and arrive around the middle of the day on Thursday.
