Back from Pike's Peak

[mcraindog]

Well as some of you know, I took a trip out to Colorado. We arrived on Thursday, on Friday we took a whole day rafting trip, on Saturday and Sunday we hiked Pike's Peak. (Spent the night halfway up) This was one of the best trips I have been on. Some of the best views I have ever seen! I didn't get too many pictures because I was hardly ever with my group hiking. They were a good bit slower than I was. This was my first 14,000 elevation (14,115) mountain that I have ever hiked. Here are a few pictures that I'd like to share with everyone.

Shelter House in case of bad weather on the way up.

I hiked around Philmont and did some 12k mtns, we didnt hike over pikes peak when we were there though. We rode the train up, still fun, and we had some awesome visibility on top
