My four day road trip out to the central Colorado Rocky Mountains to see Pikes Peak, Cripple Creek and other area attractions. Four days just isn’t enough for all the things to see out there either! I got to visit the summit of Pikes Peak, a 14,110 foot tall mountain with a road to the [read more...]
