Colorado 2007


Hiking along Trout Haven, Divide, Colorado.

Last year...I saw black bears lumbering down the mountain where we camped. This year, wildlife sightings include: mother deer and fawn; chipmunk, muskrat, trout, a LabPoodle (designer dog), llamas, grasshoppers, and beagles (Maggie and ShoeShine-the Underdog! upon return home).


One of my fondest observations is the wind rushing thru the Aspen trees; it sounds like rushing water and is extremely relaxing!


Sometimes the inspiration to be a Tourist Dork just strikes!


The Crystal Reservoir with Pikes Peak as a majestic backdrop!


Enjoying the beauty!


Forget 'sea level' at times, we were driving at 'cloud level.'


Enroute...the drive to Pikes Peak Summit was 19 miles and took 1 hour to drive due to steep incline and continuous sharp curves!


At the top of Pikes Peak; elevation 14,411 ft above sea level and 50% of oxygen!


Scaling the Summit at Pikes Peak (for fun!).


Dwarfed by the wonders of creation!


Pikes Peak...the inspiration for America The Beautiful...
