Moving across the state, we stopped in Colorado Springs to see Garden of the Gods national park
and drive Pikes Peak.
Garden of the Gods was, once again beautiful, but more of the same. Rock
formations continue to awe. We never tire of the views.
Pikes Peak did not disappoint. Probably one the most intense drives we've ever taken.
Drive ( 19 miles long) starts out very tame with slight grades and easy turns. As you approach the
top, turns or switchbacks are 180 degrees with speed limit at 10 mph. Roads are wide enough
but have few guard rails which is somewhat unnerving. By the time we reach the top, we both have tight cheeks and white knuckles.
