Well the kids have left for home, but we had a great time....here are a few pics from pikes peak and the cog railway up to the peak. Im sure going to miss them! Can't wait to see them at Christmas........Jarrod and Kiley really thought it was cool when the cloud rolled in...they were right, it dropped from about 50 degrees to 32 degrees in a matter of minutes!

More pictures of our trip to Estes.....tomorrow we head up Pikes Peak on the cog railway...should be fun...

Well the Kids are having a great time.....were having lots of fun.....here are a few pictures....ill put more in when i have more time....The ground squirrel was the kids favorite picture....I also threw in pics of their first elk sighting.

Here are a few pictures from red rock canyon, the one is of the old quarry that they cut stone from years ago to build houses in manitou and colorado city. A couple rock climbers were out on some rock nearby.

Here are some more wildflowers from the high country desert area....can you spot the tiny wildlife?

Just a few more pictures, from a recent hike, of some colorado wildlife and scenery....

Here are a few more pics from Mt. Evans. The sheer rock walls are pretty cool. The wind though was blowing so hard at times it sounded like a water fall between the crevices.....And that will be the last time i forget a sweatshirt and hat....it was damn cold up there today! Unfortunately one motorcyclist "somehow" ended up driving off the edge and required life flight to fly him out...you can see his bike in the middle of the one picture...esp if you enlarge it....he was alive when they flew him out.........

Well I went to the top of Mt. Evans today elev. 14,264. But i cheated i drove.....wasnt sure if or where to hike it, but now that i know....its next on my list....Mt. Evans is directly across from Mt. Bierstadt that i climbed earlier but it has much more game on it than Bierstadt as evidinced by the pictures....some of the mt. goat and bighorn sheep are pretty tame and some people i guess feed them.....as i found out when one came up over a cliff and was going to get in my car.....more pictures to follow.....
