Mt Elbert via Black Cloud Trail - San Isabel National Forest

[@archiechesler439]

Thanks for the video. What time of year did you climb Elbert via the Black Cloud? We're planning on doing the Black Cloud Trail later this month and want to split it into two nights. Any tips? Several spots along the route in your video looked suitable for backcountry camping, and AllTrails has two marked spots at 11,000 and 11,600 feet.

@@archiechesler439 yes they’re some good spots along the way. I made this ascent on June 19th. This trail is very steep so I’d bring hiking poles.
