Entrance to Pikes Peak is just a few miles from the cool town of Manitou Springs we visited last year. The entrance fee to the mountain is a little pricey at $12 per person and there are absolutely no discounts! No senior, AAA or student discounts and our State and National Parks pass did not work either. But the beauty of the drive to the top was well worth it! There is a train ride to the top as well, that costs around $35 per person and I think it would be nice for a different perspective.
Big Foot Sighting? I guess he has been spotted here before, but that was just my mom being silly!
At the top of Pikes Peak!
Warning: A portion of Pikes Peak Highway is not paved, so your car bounces around and gets pretty dirty. Also when you are driving down the mountain there is a mandatory brake check, where someone takes the temperature of your brakes to make sure they are not overheating. There were so many cars pulled over waiting for them to cool. My brakes were doing good but I pulled over anyways to let them cool.
What a beautiful day it was! I can't wait to go back again and take the train for a different perspective.
