Pikes Peak Everywhere

From the first sight of Pikes Peak we were in awe.  America's mountain, over 14000 feet high, where a young woman was inspired to write "America the Beautiful" looms over the Colorado Springs area, offering magnificent views wherever you go.  And the appearance of the mountain changes with day, time, and weather.

Here are just a few of the views of the mountain.
 
Later -- our trip up to the summit.
