Garden of the Gods

We stopped to visit Andrew in Colorado Springs this week. It was a beautiful spring day in Colorado! So we went to the Garden of the Gods and hiked around.


Roger and I with Pikes Peak in the background.
The rock climbers were out in good numbers today!
Pikes Peak, third highest mountain in the continental U.S.: 1. Mt. Whitney, 2. Mt. Rainier, 3. Pikes Peak

I've been to Mt. Rainier and stood on top of Pikes Peak, but have not made it to Mt. Whitney (yet).

If you look closely above the summit, you can see a contrail from a jet. Andrew told us that Jane often goes on pilot-training flights from Texas and flies up here and goes around Pikes Peak!

No, Bethany, not this year. Perhaps next year. Sorry!

So beautiful! Love the photos! Wow, imagine seeing that... someday I'll visit the rest of the USA and perhaps see half of what you've seen. ;)
Thanks for keeping us posted on your life!
