In 2004 I got to spend three fun filled weeks working in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was really a good trip. On Sunday, the 11th of January, I drove to the top of Pikes Peak!
As you can see, it really is a long way up. It was work just to breathe.

If that doesn’t work, here was the info on my PDA/GPS: 14110.9 Feet up.
There is an inclined railroad to the top from the bottom. It was closed for the winter.

Really. It just ends. There is No More.

The orange rocks below are The Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, a major tourist and local attraction. It is a really neat jumble of rocks.

Here is the end of the Garden of the Gods prior to driving through it.
