PIKES PEAK, Colorado

On September 14, 2012,  George and I visited  beautiful PIKES PEAK in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  I captured this photo on the road up the mountain.  Hope you enjoy it.

Hi Betsy, long time since I've visited. What a breath taking photo. Colorado is second to none for its scenery. I lived in Colorado very briefly a long, long time ago. Sometimes I long for drive or a hike in those mountains. Thanks for sharing the picture.

That's gorgeous! I love the way the snowy mountains rise up behind the green mountains in front. It really shows the difference not only in elevation, but in temperature!

Happy St. Pat's Day to you....this looks so mighty familiar to me.

Pike's Peak or Bust.


May God grant you always...
A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you.
