Chicago Basin Colorado Backpacking Trip

This summer was full of adventures throughout Colorado. Chicago Basin was by far one of my favorites of this year. By the end of our trip we had summited all 4 peaks (Sunlight, Windom, Eolus and North Eolus). Tracking around 28 miles with 10,200 ft of gain over the 4 days. It was exhausting but worth every sore muscle in our bodies!

*Our Summits!*
-Mt Eolus - 14,087 ft (Class 3)
-North Eolus - 14,042 ft (Class 3)
-Windom Peak - 14,089 ft (Difficult Class 2)
-Sunlight Peak - 14,061 ft (Class 4)

Very amazing video and also very brave ladies. Great video’s and camera shots but how did they keep their batteries charged on such a long hiking trip?
