Pikes Peak 7/25/2010 Training run

Cloudy in the Springs but the Peak is above the clouds.
The drive up
click on pictures to enlarge them.
The clouds over Colorado Springs about 8 AM
Running down form the top
Actually I took pictures and talked to runners
and hikers on the trail more than I ran.
The 16 golden stairs are not stairs but switch backs
I think it's about a quarter mile to the top from the sign.
