It was 5 days of eating, lots of drinking, late nights, magnificent scenery and great company. Our ranch was at 8,500ft with spectacular views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, and I even managed to get in a few runs (hilly rocky trails, but with zero humidity).
Here are some of the highlights.

| Scenic stopoff on the way to the top of Pike's Peak |
 |
| 40F at 14,110ft on the summit - bloody marvelous |
 |
| Looking down from the top as the weather closes in |
 |
| The view toward Manitou Springs |
 |
| Looking up the incline railway at the Royal Gorge |
 |
| Me and Dylan on the railway. I love this picture. |

Grea pictures and glad y'all had a good time. I used to go to Manitou Springs every summer as a kid and have some great memories of that place.
Wonderful pictures, Mark! I love the Garden of the Gods! There is a race there in June. It is not a very long one, but I would love to go run it! Maybe next year.
If I could hand pick where I lived, Colorado Springs would be it!
