On our last full day in Colorado, we spent the afternoon hiking around Monarch Lake and enjoyed some truly Impossible Beauty (Thanks Michelle from BOOK CHAT for the title idea!)

The sign that said Wilderness amid the wilderness just made us laugh:)

The Red landscape atop Pikes Peak reminded both Eric and I of Mars.
We rode the Cog Train up to the peak, strolled around while it snowed, then rode back down 🙂

Just a few of the amazing vista’s we enjoyed on the cog-train ride up to the summit of Pikes Peak.  This last picture is of two yellow-bellied-whistling marmots we saw.  So cute!

Yes, we were blessed to see these mountain goats up close and personal.  The fact that this Mother and Baby were within 20 feet of us shows how used they are to people, but it was wonderful nonetheless.  Little Baby actually walked across a nearly vertical rock face while descending from the summit to nibble on the sparse vegetation below.  The pics are a little blurry simply because I was FREEZING…it was 42F and windy!

Some of the native flora on the summit of Mt Evans.  It amazes me that these hardy plants can survive the extremes 14000 feet up!  OH and yes, thats me, all bundled up in three thick layers trying to stay warm!  🙂

The vistas from Mt Evans were spectacular and these are just a few.  We climbed to the summit to watch the Eclipse …and had a spectacular view!
