 Mount Parnassus - Watrous Gulch Trail (First Colorado 13er)   

Our first Colorado 13er was a pleasant hike. It was a nice and easy hike at first, but got really challenging as soon as we left the treeline. The weather was perfect, light to medium wind, and clear skies. Once we got to the summit we had the entire mountain to ourselves, the next person was arriving as we were start our decent. A perfect day to reach this accomplishment!
