April Squares: Pikes Peak

43 Comments

Today’s post is a memory of a glorious trip up Pikes Peak in Colorado which, at 14,115ft, is the highest I have ever been. So definitely the top of my world – but don’t worry, we drove up. Or rather, we were driven by Scott, husband of fellow-blogger Claudia, both of whom generously gave up their time to show us some of their favourite places in Colorado. You can find Claudia at The Bookwright, where she’s currently engaged in the A to Z Challenge.

  4. That must have been fun! Strange that, with my abject fear of heights, I love the mountains and driving up them…well, not me, someone else and I didn’t like the drive while we were doing it but I always have great memories of the views. This is a long way up!

  10. What a great place. We drove up a old narrow dirt road when I was very small – scary scary when you met cars – I was sure we were all going to fall over the edge. Beautiful once there.
    I want to go back and ride the cog railway up and leave the driving to them

  11. It’s absolutely amazing to me that there are people who run or bicycle up there! I’ve never been up there – yet. That’s still on my bucket list. I’ve been up Mount Evans [ 14,264 feet] in Colorado, and even if being driven up there I still got altitude sickness – not much, though, luckily, but I definitely felt unwell.
    Take care, and stay well,

  17. Hi Anabel – I remember your trip with them … and how amazing to have been there – higher than I’ve ever been and I’d have gone by car too! Take care – Hilary
