The journey West continues. Today, we're at Pike's Peak and Garden of the Gods.

| The temperature was a balmy 34 degrees! Altitude: 14,110 feet. I was definitely feeling it after only about 15 minutes. |

I've never been to Garden of the Gods. It's privately owned, right? Just curious. Utah has some similar country. Bryce Canyon is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteTruly beautiful views.
