To get the picture of Grays and Torreys from Breckenridge,
I had to get high enough to see over
the 12,000 foot+ Mt. Bald ridgeline and other high areas.

We four took the BreckConnect Gondola
from the town of Breckenridge to the Base of Peak 8.
Then we caught the Colorado SuperChair
to the top of Peak 8 just above 11,000 feet/3353 meters.
From there we hiked to an overlook.
