We were finally successful in our attempt to reach the summit of Pikes Peak. The beauty of the summit inspired Katherine Lee Bates to write the words to America the Beautiful.
When you reach the summit, on a clear day, visitors are greeted by 360-degree vistas of the surrounding countryside, with views of up to four different states. The cog train is an intereting mode of transportation to and from the summit, but we much prefer making the trip in our trusty Jeep.
As usual, Iron Man Russ is dressed in shorts and a short-sleeve shirt while I'm in crop pants with a fleece jacket! On our descent, we got behind a "tourist" biking group called "Bike the Peak". Yeh, we could do that too, especially going down hill!
