Post #74: Stephen's Gulch Circuit
July 16, 2013, 8 hour day
It was time for a big day. Decided to link up Kelso Mountain, Gray's, Torrey's, Edwards, and two other 13ers in this circuit that circumnavigates the entire basin.
I parked at the junction of Grizzley Gulch and Stephan's Gulch and ascended Kelso Mountain (13,164ft), then up Kelso Ridge to Torrey's Peak (14,265ft), over to Gray's Peak (14,264ft), across to Mount Edwards (13,850ft), and across two other smaller 13ers as I traversed rest of McCllellan Ridge to its terminus. I descended bushwhacking back to my truck.
