Denver to Colorado Springs |
Our eyes have been fixed on Pike's Peak. Our first sighting was from the airplane on the approach to Denver, some 90 miles away. For now, we've stopped to stretch our legs
and take a couple of photos of Pike's Peak off in the distance... |
| We'll never tire
of these beautiful scenes of the rolling foothills of the Rockies with
the majestic, towering mountains just off in the horizon.

The road is dotted with small horse ranches. There's a different feeling as though you are part of the country the way it might have been a hundred years ago. Gone are the pace and pressures of civilization. A certain peace and tranquility transcends the landscape. Still, Pike's Peak, loacated within the city limits of Colorado Springs looms ever closer, now only 45 miles away, it begins to dominate the skyline, yet Colorado Springs has a less famous but still breathtaking attraction. |
