Today Kenz and I drove west from Denver to Grays Peak and Torreys Peak, two of Colorado’s 55 mountains with an elevation of 14,000 feet or greater.
Grays and Torreys are part of the Continental Divide.
For sustenance we brought burritos.
tinfoil-wrapped goodness
Spending last week at sea level in muggy Puerto Rico killed our lung capacities which gave me the perfect excuse to poop out early.

We didn’t summit, but we got about half-way before stopping for some gnomz in the Sun.
goes great with 14ers
Mackenzie’s veggie spinach burrito was packed with eggs, potatoes and wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. Mine (not pictured) came with tofu Chorizo. We grabbed the burritos from Pablo’s Coffee, who gets them from some guy. I need to find out who this guy is because they were big and oozing, surprisingly grease-free and full of delicious.
After we scarfed our burritos we made our way down the mountain as dark storm clouds quickly followed.
At $3.50 a pop the veggie burritos are slightly more expensive than what you might find at your neighborhood taco truck, but these puppies come without the bloated after-gut and feelings of regret. Recommend.
