Hiking up the Peak





This week has been goregous. Last Saturday Lynn and I decided to go up Barr Trail. There used to be a cable car called the Manitou Springs Incline that went up the side of Pikes Peak, but was dismantled in the 90's. People run up the huge wooden beams that are left. Some of the runners run back down it while others go down on the trail. It doesn't look like fun to me. See how steep the incline is. The Barr Trail was icey and snowy so Lynn put screws in the bottome of some old hiking boots and off we went. The trip to the top of the incline was 4 miles. Lots of people!!! We went to the Loop (a really good Mexican food) and had Margaritas with our lunch. Great Time.
