We did go up MT Evans, that's about 14,000 ft. as I recall.

The photograph of Garden of the Gods brought back memories of my visit to the area years ago. I visited Garden of the Gods as well. I drove part way up Pike's Peak. I went as far as a zoo. Did you see a zoo on your way up Pike's Peak? I remember Seven Falls too. I saw it in the winter time, when the falls were frozen.Linda G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10734059475022760098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-73244196430018242462012-10-02T07:47:43.266-05:002012-10-02T07:47:43.266-05:00You had me green with envy, Betsy.
