Colorado Trip, July 2008 - Colorado Springs, Day 2
 
This is the start of our day, on the way to Pike's Peak
 
We waited a while, but he never showed.

Looking back at the reservoir we just left.
 
We were surprised to see the effect of high altitude on our sealed bag of pretzels!

The views on top of Pike's Peak are breathtaking (literally). We captured as many as we made a quick escape from the very uncomfortable altitude.

 
The Devil's Playground, a colorful, rocky flat on Pike's Peak.
 
We return to the tree line, and breathe comfortably, at last.
 
Once off of Pike's Peak, we found the Garden of the Gods to explore.
 
It's almost like nature planned it that way.
 
The Kissing Camels (if you have a good imagination).
 
Birds make their homes in holes high up on the cliffs.
 
This is cleverly called the Balancing Rocks.
