Long way up but I made it finally. I was in the back seat. Grandson wanted to drive.

Pics!?!

Go to the museum at the Broadmoor hotel,,,in Colorado Springs…,,cool stuff …..about the race….

You try the world's best donuts while you were up there!?

No, but I saw them. Should have.

Is my name still up there? lol Gil written in the snow alongside my sister's name. She's in the pic.


That's a beautiful place, I'm glad you got to enjoy it.

My mom got altitude sickness when she was there, they said that was pretty common...

I thought you said "climbed"

Been on top but it has been a long time ago, close to 50 years

I was up there when I was maybe 9 years old.
It was a really fun trip.
My uncle was stationed at ft Carson and we got to stay with him on base.
I remember the first mountain I ever saw was Cheyenne mountain… I had absolutely no clue at the time what was in there.

If you want a good walk in the area, try out the Manitou Incline. I did it with the boys my first time, and we made it up there in 1 hour 33 minutes. I did it myself last summer in 58 minutes. It's just stairs......

I first went to PikesPeak as a Boy Scout in the late 50s. Rode the cog wheel train. The road up wasn’t paved.
The Scout Jamboree was on the AF Academy grounds but the academy wasn’t built. Eisenhower met the scouts and the Linen Sisters sang for us.

I think a cup of hot chocolate was a quarter. I refused to spend that much so I did without.

Got to ride to the top as a kid on a family vacation. I remember being quite afraid at that moment as we got higher and higher. I was probably 12 years old at the time.
