My favorite view was standing on top of Pikes Peak and seeing how small Garden of the Gods looked and then driving to GotG and seeing these huge rocks

Like the scale really set in.

We did it in the opposite order, but yeah. I do not, otoh, recommend going up pikes peak less than 24 hours after being at sea level. -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 10:13 8
- Ouch. You took the tram up? I drove it in late March and was shocked by how much gas I used. And the terror of the edges of the corners. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:24 7
  - Drove. - znufrii Mar 1, 10:28 6
    - Also not the most terrifying drive I’ve done, that award goes to Million Dollar Highway near telluride. -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 10:30 3
      - We got the Tail of the Dragon here that’s about as fun. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:31 2
        
        That does look fun. :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 10:35 1
        
        No. Not when you got crotch rockets ripping past or Paul Walker wannabes (multiple ways) tailgating. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:41
    - Well, even at her age, she knew that wasn’t a fun drive. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:30 1
      - The best part was having to pull over after leaving the parking lot and was convinced I was stuck in a gravel ditch. -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 1, 10:32
I wish we had been able to go up Pikes Peak. Weather wasn't cooperating nor our timing. Sadly we couldn't even really see it because of the clouds -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 10:05
