Today we drove the Pikes Peak highway and made it to the summit! It was frightening at times as I am not a lover of heights and the road has steep cliffs on the side of it. However the views really were spectacular. It was snowing when we got near the top and our lungs could feel the thin air at 14,110 feet!
This is a lake that was along the highway just a short way up.

I was there as a kid. It was so foggy we really couldn't see anything until we got back down. Bummer. Your picture is beautiful!
Beautiful view! I've enjoyed your photos from your trip; and I know you're thrilled to spend time with your son!
WHAT? Snowing already? I guess it was a little cooler today so snow at 14,000 feet shouldn't alarm me. But it's only August!
So glad you're enjoying your visit to this beautiful city.
God bless.
I'm catching up on your blog after being on vacation. Love this picture......it is so serene. And that is one crazy looking church. I mean that in a nice way. :)
The shot from garden of the gods is spectacular. Wow, too many great shots to comment about everyone!!
Oh, enjoy your vacation in Colorado!
I didn't realize there were lakes on the way up, but this is a beautiful lake.It must be filled with mountain spring water.
Oh ... very impressive and a very nice place!
What a spectacular view.
It's been years since we were there. God's beautiful world.
