We decided we couldn't visit Colorado Springs without going up to Pike's Peak, so we took the trip on Monday afternoon. It was a perfectly sunny day to go up to the top! We opted to drive up and were warned that it was a gravel road with no guard rails. However, I thought that was a joke and wasn't really expecting such a terrifying experience. All in all, despite the frightening drive... it was truly beautiful.
This was about 4 or 5 miles up the 18 mile highway. We still had far to go!
This was closer to the top... just to give a little perspective on what the roads were like. Obviously, it's not quite as scary when you can't see the thousands of feet on the other side of the cliff.
It's pretty clear how "America, the Beautiful" was written up there!

How majestic!
The Lord really knew what He was doing giving us all such wonder-ful sights to enjoy and treasure.
Glad that you made it, and you both look great!
This is from Joel:
My family made the same trek a while back and, yes, we also had a terrifying experience! Actually, Josh and I didn't mind, but you will get a completely different story from my parents. Mom read the same page in her book three or four times and Dad mentioned something about "never doing that again" and "we'll take the train next time."
