Pikes Peak or Bust




Went up to 14,115 feet today to see Pikes Peak LINK. What a ride and what a view! Great that Nate and Rachel came along but Josh stayed home and watched the animals for us. Luke did a great job driving while most of the rest of us closed our eyes.


They saved money on the road by not installing many guard rails! And this weekend there is a race where vehicles race to the top in times like 9 minutes that took us almost an hour! Race Website LINK

Lots of pictures, but, like everything out West, they don't do it justice.







































There's a train that runs to the top too LINK. Probably a beautiful ride too.




Afterwards we went to a restaurant built originally as a Navajo Hogan LINK.  Not a single nail or screw in the ceiling and, maybe, other places. Worth clicking HERE just to see the ceiling. Our pictures didn't do it justice.




Another great day.
