Monarch Pass, at 11,312 feet, set a new elevation from me (taking it away from Red Mountain Pass, the previous day in the trip).
And then I busted that record by taking a tram to the top of Monarch Ridge (nearly 12,100 feet) at the pass. it's relatively inexpensive and the views were amazing. It was windy and cold but the views made it all worthwhile.
