Are you up for a drive to 14,115 feet? If your answer to this question is a resounding “yes” then you’d better get yourself over to Colorado and take a ride up to Pikes Peak. For anyone who has a love of cars and driving, Pikes Peak is arguably considered the pinnacle of American Driving. We had the opportunity to drive Pikes Peak while on a recent road trip to Colorado and can say it’s an experience we’ll never forget.
The phone rang, and rang again. I hesitated to answer it. I knew what the person on the other end was going to tell me. My heart sank into my stomach as I answered it. I saw her leave late Monday night from my kitchen window. I couldn’t bring myself to go outside and say goodbye, but I knew it was goodbye forever. The phone is still ringing.

Winter might not seem like the ideal time to go on a hike, however beautiful views and isolated trails are some great perks of winter hiking.
The winter season is known for cold conditions, therefore it is crucial that you prepare properly for a winter hike. Depending on your location, winter conditions can vary from mild temperatures to snow and ice. No matter where you are, always check the weather to know what to expect. If you are in an area that is very snowy, a winter hike will most definitely require snowshoes for easy travel in deep snow.
