    My husband is obsessed with Pikes Peak! We “drive up” once/twice a year when we are in The Springs visiting our son and family. Son and husband are planning a short hike on the trail this summer. You three inspire so many. I’m binge watching everything you’ve done!

    Wow, you made it. Super hard, no joke--thirteen miles straight up (and down). So very impressive. We drove up one year and we had to wait on the way down while our brakes cooled off.

    I have to admit when I saw you were attempting a 26 mile day with 7500ft of elevation gain, I just assumed you were stopping 1/2 way. Wow, I'm very impressed, that's not easy for any age. Very inspirational! I was disappointed to see that monstrosity at the top of the peak. Can't they just leave it alone for everyone to enjoy the summit as nature intended? Besides that, what an awesome hike and views!

    You ladies are amazing me constantly. You had such beautiful weather while you hiked. We had temps in the 30's and snow flurries here, on Mother's Day!!!!!!!!!!! Great video. Take care, be safe.

    You Wonder Women are amazing! I was out of breath just watching you. I have asthma, so I would never have made it to the top, but I would like to try to go as far as I can. I am so impressed by you ladies. Thanks for the great video.

    What an amazing hike! My wife got altitude sickness driving up Rocky Mt National Park, just over 12,000 ft. You did so awesome on such a long hike at that altitude. Great job!

    • @jersey282
      @jersey282 4 роки тому

      Wow, I didn’t think people got altitude sickness driving through the park. When I went to CO to go the park I was told to be careful of altitude sickness and that I should drink a lot of water. I was thinking that was only to be cautious when hiking and exerting yourself. I don’t recall feeling anything while driving into and out of the park but maybe I did feel really exhausted later when we hadn’t done that much activity.

      @@jersey282 I drove up Pikes Peak in late 1990 and ended up with altitude sickness for two days (headaches and vomited twice) later due to the lack of oxygen. No exertion necessary. Just a lack of oxygen when you aren't used to that altitude (I live at sea-level). Was told to drink more water next time.

    Hi girls!! I have been watching you since your AT adventure began. We just missed each other in Hot Springs....I don't know if you remember me messaging you but I was asleep on the trail head while you guys were at the hostel there...LOL... Anyways, it has always been my dream to come out and climb pikes peak. I was planning on it this year, I don't know if I will make it with the COVID stuff going on but I had some questions for you about the Colorado trail. Is there a way on here to DM you with a few questions? Let me just say you guys have been my ALL TIME favorite thru hikers to watch!!! I LOVE your adventures .....

    Waow! Great job! 26 miles in a day on a flat surface is hard, but with the altitude it's extreem! To bad people can also drive to the top. You should have been there on your own, enjoying the view and the peace!

    • @djg5950
      @djg5950 4 роки тому

      Hikers say the same about Mt. Washington (NH), especially thru hikers. Only Katahdin (in Maine - end of AT) doesn't have a road to the top. You want to see that you have to climb it (5,269 feet). Not a 14,000 footer but still a hard climb.

  • @melaniegarden3416

    • @djg5950
      @djg5950 4 роки тому

      That's what I thought when they were at the top. Where is Lynn with the car ? Ha ha ! Don't blame her for turning around. Looked really steep at the top. And I've been up there (drove up) and paid for it two days later. I ended up with 2 days of headaches and vomited twice (once on the side of the road in Keebler Pass, Crested Butte and the second time I just made it into the bathroom in the visitor center in the NP outside Grand Junction - not fun). Gone are the trail legs of yesteryear but you guys made it. Congrats on that. Nobody suffered altitude sickness in the days that followed ?
