Heading Up Pikes Peak
We survived the trip to the top, we ended up taking the Cog Railway, I think it was a better decision as we were able to relax and take in all the sights along the way. No issues for me at the top, but my wife was a little lightheaded for a while. We also hiked 2 miles up the Barr trail beforehand, what an amazing trail, I think we are going to go back at some point and hike to the camp. The next day we did about 7 miles of hiking up at 10k feet in Rocky Mountain National Park, it was also a very nice trail, we did a bunch of alpine lakes, Bear Lake, Nymph Lake, Dream Lake, Emerald Lake and the Alberta Falls waterfall.
I'll add some pics later
