Wow! You had a perfect day for going up Pike's Peak! When we tried it way back when I was a kid, we weren't so lucky - clouds socked in the top. Oh, well. I got to see what we missed on your lucky day!
It was a little hazy from the fires in the area, but wow, what spectacular views from up there. I’m guessing clouds at the top may be common. The last time we were there it was cold and windy. This was a much better experience. As always, thanks for coming along for the ride.
Thanks for the excellent video. We drove up Pikes Peak Road in 2020. There was a lot of construction at the top for the new Visitor center & forest fire smoke reduced visibility of the valley. Glad to see it's finished. Next time we'll use the Cog Railway. Georgians..
The Visitor Center and with the overlooks certainly improved our visit this time around. We had some haze from surrounding fires as well, but still had a great view. We had friends and family take the cog railroad and met us up there. If you decide to take it next time you're there, try to find out which side gives you better views. They told us one side was much better than the other and the seats are assigned, meaning once chosen you can't switch seats.
