Most extreme types like to brag about how many fourteeners they’ve bagged and their forays to the high point in Colorado, Mount Elbert at 14,433 feet above sea level. Whatever. Blah blah blah.
Personally, I’m more impressed by those who have ventured to the lowest point in Colorado—and the highest low point of any state in the country—where the Arikaree River drains into Kansas, about 3,315 feet above sea level.
