The Missouri/Belford Link Up.


I have always had a thing for link-ups.....And when I read the description of three peaks in one day, I couldn't resist.....Andrew at this point knows what he is getting himself into!


And if you did read the title of this post, you will note that only TWO peaks are mentioned.....that is because I didn't have enough juice to make it up the third........(which would have been Mount Oxford for those who are more ambitious than I).


We ran into a couple of locals that told us usually you do the link up in the other direction....meaning, it should have gone - Belford, Oxford, Missouri....not the other way around! Regardless, our total elevation gain for the day was over 6,000 feet, 12 miles and about 9 hours.....we were pretty beat!

Wow, fantastic effort doing all those 14ers. You will have to do Mt Sneffels one day.
