Was cool to see the crew of people hiking in a line down the mountain single file. Not baaaaaaaaad!

[@AndyParrishOutdoors]

It was definitely a cool scene... 🐐

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Those Colorado views!!! Outstanding Cool video Andy

[@AndyParrishOutdoors]

They are legit!

[@KandJTravel]

I was there the same day. Love the video!

[@AndyParrishOutdoors]

What a beautiful day. Did you see our large group?

[@KandJTravel]

@@AndyParrishOutdoors I think I was on the way down and saw you guys heading up. It was a beautiful day for a hike! I made a video of my hike but your footage was much better! Love the video!

Grays Peak was my second 14er, the first being Torreys on the same hike. I think I was still in high school when I did them.

[@AndyParrishOutdoors]

It's a great pair to start with!

[@cachemacstrailtime]

That looks incredible. What was your starting elevation? Hoping to make a couple trip to CO next year. Take care!

[@AndyParrishOutdoors]

We started at around 11,200 ft

2024, last week of July, still snow but not as much.

The mountain goats are pretty docile, they have no reason to fight humans and will only fight other animals if really threatened with young or in food scarcity. The latter being rare, since they eat basically any grasses or shrubs. Still a good idea to keep distance and let them be wild. I've heard they are delicious when slow cooked and shredded like pulled pork.

[@AndyParrishOutdoors]

They look trained to expect food from hikers. At least that was my instinct.

[@silvermediastudio]

@@AndyParrishOutdoors Unfortunately I suspect you are correct. Good message in the video to remind people to avoid the temptation to feed them. The back country isn't a petting zoo hahaha

How long did this take you guys? Going 6/12/24 from Florida .

[@AndyParrishOutdoors]

It took us 3 and a half hours to climb. We hung out at the summit for about 45 minutes. It took us about 2 and a half hours to make it back to the cars.

[@silvermediastudio]

I think I'm going around the same time. Excited for it!

[@dominiquesifuentes4390]

How long did the total hike take?

[@AndyParrishOutdoors]

6:45 total time... 3:30 to climb, just under an hour at the top... About 2:20 to get down...
