left Denver on a cloudy, overcast day (headed towards Pike's Peak and Monarch Pass)... i KNEW rain was in my future... when i got closer to PP i stopped and put on ALL rain and cold weather gear that i had... glad i did!!! but i was a little "over heated" when it was all said and done...
well, i could explain how the trip up to PP went, but the pics will tell the words.... i did (at one point) almost turn around saying... the HECK with this!!! (it was pretty bad at one point), but i got a sense that there was not much more left (i was right).... anyway, after PP i headed off to Monarch Pass (and cont. divide)...
ok, now for pics....

- Pikes Peak in the back ground
- at ~11k feet, yes... that is a dirt road!
- we CLAIM CO under fog and light snow at the top of P.P.
- just a photo op (could NOT come here without getting this pic); yes, that is snow falling!
- it would not have been fair if i did not get HIS picture as well...
- the view on the way down (yes, those are ice crystals on my wind screen!)
- just looking across the valley
- ice on wind screen, dirt under my wheels, pavement just beyond... i MADE IT DOWN off the peak!
- a nice veiw of the pavement the is below!
- i offically have my head in the clouds (well, above them)!
- back down to a more reasonable elevation!
- gassing up and heading to Monarch Pass (bye PP)
- some nice green mounts in CO
- a view of my mirror
