It was warm at Garden of...
It was warm at Garden of the Gods & almost 25 degrees cooler at Pikes Peak. We could’ve used more time at Manitou Springs to walk around & shop.

Two thumbs up for Zach...
Two thumbs up for Zach and this experience. His driving let us relax and we still got to see the sights with ease. The view was amazing, his suggestion for food was appreciated (with enough time to relax) and a little wildlife too ! Thanks !
