Pike's Peak, Colorado

More vacation pics....
We drove up to the top of Pike's Peak in Colorado Springs. It is 14,110 feet high. At the bottom of the mountain it was sunny and nice. As we drove it got colder and foggy. By the time we got to the top we could not see 5 feet in front of ourselves because the fog was so thick and it was very cold! You can see from the pictures that we had to bundle up. We were the last car that was allowed to go all the way to the top because a storm came and no more cars were allowed up because of lightning. So we were not allowed to stay very long. We walked around a little and went into the little gift shop. I was bummed that we did not have a view from the top but it was still fun to go all the way up. I must say though....I felt pretty light headed from lack of oxygen.
