PIKES PEAK -- 1/2 COMPLETE

Manitou Springs
One Way Distance: 11.8 miles (Barr Trail)
Total Elevation Gain:7,900 ft
Highest Elevation: 14,115 ft


I don't think I can actually count this as a completed Colorado 14'er, as I took the train down!  The cool part of this trip was I had time to take the train down, meet my parents, take the train back up and then back down again.....(More on that to come!)  Maybe I get credit for doing a 14'er twice in one day!!  Enjoy the pics.  Not much beta here cause there is a ton already out there!!

 
This 60 year old man RUNNING up Pikes is truly my new motivation!

 
Thanks for the snacks Mom!!
 
 
Beautiful views from mid-mountain!

 
I loved these old school signs along the way!

 
Hail/snow to the north, blue skies to the south!
 
 
First 1/2 completed 14'er of the season!
