Roofs of Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, & Nebraska in 1 weekend
6 states: Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming4 state high points: Mt Elbert (CO), Black Mesa (OK), Mt Sunflower (KS), Panorama Point (NE)
1342 miles / 30 hrs of driving63 hrs on the groundZERO down time
Author: Matthew Gilbertson
I think Eric and I have discovered the upper limit to the amount of adventure you can pack into a single weekend. We wanted to expand our repertoire of state high points to fill in some gaps out west.
Mt Elbert (CO), Black Mesa (OK), Mt Sunflower (KS), Panorama Point (NE) all have the convenience of being relatively close to a major airport--Denver.
Eric: "Hmm... I think I sense another adventure coming up"
Matthew: "Wow, is all that even possible in a three-day weekend?"
Eric: "We'll make it possible."
Matthew: "Sounds like a plan to me..."

With a quick direct flight into Denver on Friday night, we hit the ground running at 11pm and the clock immediately began ticking. We first wanted to tackle Mt Elbert which, at 14,433ft, is the highest mountain in Colorado and the second highest peak in the lower 48 behind CA's Mt Whitney.
