When you arrive at the top of a big mountain after a long, hard climb, you hope for clear skies, views for miles and a comfortable spot where you can sit down and recover – what you might not expect is a classical music concert, but that's exactly what some hikers got when they recently summitted Colorado's highest peak.
On September 9, professional clarinetist Dr Stephanie Zelnick climbed Mount Elbert, a Colorado 14er, to perform the highest recorded classical music concert in the Rockies. At 14,439 feet above sea level, Mount Elbert is the tallest peak in the Rocky Mountains and the second-highest mountain in the lower 48 states after California's Mount Whitney.
