I had ridden my bike from Breckenridge to Frisco on a beautiful summer day 2009. I stopped in downtown Frisco to get a
drink of water before heading back toward Breck. I had wanted to get the twin 14ers of Grays and Torreys in the picture (I have climbed them both multiple
times) and didn't realize until I got home that I caught the bird in flight as well. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.
The twin peaks (Grays is 14,278' and Torreys is 14,267') lie just on the east side of the Continental Divide and are easily accessible from anywhere on the
front range. However, because of that fact you need to start early to beat the crowds. Another piece of advice is to stay away from the snow slope on the saddle
between the peaks. There have been numerous mishaps there - I saw one happen.
