Dog Courtesy Rule All dogs must be on leash at all times unless your dog responds IMMEDIATELY when called |
Heading up the trail as the sun peeks over the peak |
Still smiling as we head up, and up, and up... | Brisco waiting up ahead as we approach tree line |
Looking back on the trail from 12,600 ft | Over the first ridge with Pikes Peak in sight |
Brisco decided to go rock climbing all by himself. He decided the fastest way down was right off the edge! |
Another view of the rock Brisco jumped off. It's at least 15' up - good thing the landing was soft |
Still headed towards the summit |
|
Finally at the last scramble to the summit! There was a nice trail in the large rocks that led us to the top |
Lindsey and Mariah enjoying the view about 15' from the summit | Finally at the top! Brisco and Mariah are taking a quick break |
Looking back to the northwest where we came from You can see the road/trail off in the distance |
Headed back down the trail over the large rocks |
High altitude flowers covering the ground | Flowers growing in a nice, sheltered area |
Headed back through Devils Playground Named because of the way the lightning reflects off the rocks in a storm |
Family photo up on the rocks |
One last stop to enjoy the view before the final descent | Happy to be back at the trailhead with Pikes Peak added to our list! |
