Drove up the Peak on a trip to Colorado years ago. We stayed about 3 minutes on top because son and wife no feel good. On the ride down, we stopped to admire the Coors plant and saw a coyote come out, look us over and took a pee before vanishing into the brush. Yesterday my daughter and I climbed Mt. Everett! 2604 feet, in SW Massachusetts. Dirt/gravel road did not go to the top but stopped about 3/4 mile short. I walked (VERY slowly) up the remaining road on my 87-year old legs to a clearing with a wooden bench overlooking the valley and a great view. There was a steep path to the top and my 54-year old daughter took it while I admired the view. Coming down was worse than going up. My legs were shaking when I got back to the car and they hurt this morning - but I did play some tennis with my old guys. That warm bath and Tylenol last night helped.
