After Great Sand Dunes we were going to drive to Colorado Springs. Originally we wanted to go to Pikes Peak (14.110ft/4233m), but with the bus we didn’t think it was a good idea to drive up. With the cog train it would be $32 per person – with 30 minutes at the top and then you cannot even bring your own lunch. So we decided to stay down and see it from “awayâ€.
The reason you get a post that quickly again is that the campground we stay at has both power and WiFi (which works from the bus) so postings are easy.
We have decided to shorten our stay here – we were supposed to have our rest day here, but we washed our clothes last night and had our shower today (one shower a week must be enough 🙂 ). We’ll go to the Garden of the Gods (where we can see Pikes Peak) and then to Denver afterwards. Denver is only a few miles up the road, so that is going to be easy.
