Mosquito Range, Colorado

Drove out to Kite Lake to camp and summit my first "fourteener". Started hiking at 4:30 AM and reached the top of Mount Democrat around 6 AM, before the sun was over the mountains. Here are a few photos from the trip:

First time out with my Bower 14mm f/2.8, it's a keeper!

C/C greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.
