Ascent of Torreys Peak on 2011-08-10| Other People: | Solo Ascent
| | Date: | Wednesday, August 10, 2011 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Torreys Peak | | Location: | USA-Colorado | | Elevation: | 14267 ft / 4348 m |
Ascent Trip ReportThe road to the Grays Peak trailhead was "repaired" in 2010, but as of mid-August 2011, it is already questionable for standard cars (mine made it, but others had said it was impossible).
The trail, however, is in great shape, and very popular- I went on a weekday, and by 8 AM the trailhead parking lot (maybe 50 vehicles) was full. The trail goes from the trailhead to Grays Peak, the trailhead to Torreys Peak, and between the peaks.
