Been to both of those places when I was 15. Beautiful!! Learned how to drive on that road trip. almost fell off the edge of Pike's Peak. (BTW, don't walk near the edge of a shear drop-off at the top of a mountain just after smoking a little weed!)

Thanks for sharing the pics.

 

I wish my car looked that good in pics. I've got a trip planned to colorado this summer so hopefully I can snap some pics like that

 

When I drove my Talon across Colorado I took the train tour into Royal Gorge at Canon City.
It was a good distraction from so much driving and quite the nice tour.
It's here: http://www.coloradoadventure.net/att...-colorado.html
It's less than an hours drive from Co. Springs IIRC.

Here's a cool road I found on my way out of town

Here is an awesome looking 4-wheeling area near the end of that ramp road

My travel buddy for 12 years


I found her in the middle of Rt.100 outside of Hillsville, Va.
She lived with me in my car for a couple of weeks at The Grand Canyon Nat. Park
introduced me to a naughty/nice veterinarian lady at Key West
swam in a pool downstream from Niagara Falls with me & my GF
and co-piloted for me down the dragstrip at 100MPH.
Good thing we weren't doing a 12 second ¼ mile.
She would have looked funny in a helmutt.

I'm not trying to jack your thread, just plugging the Canon City Royal Gorge Tour
