Mount Elbert, at 14,433', is the highest point in the state of Colorado and is the second-highest point in the lower 48 states, after Mt. Whitney, the California state highpoint. Mount Elbert is a straightforward but strenuous hike and is a very popular destination on any given summer's day. The summit is large enough to hold quite a crowd, and we met up with a herd of teen-aged summer campers who had hiked Elbert as one of their high (literally) adventures from camp. They left just before I shot this panorama, so the summit was relatively lightly occupied. To navigate within this panorama, click and hold the left mouse button and move it within the panorama window to control panning right, left, up and down. While panning, the "Shift" key will zoom in, and the "Ctrl" key will zoom out.
