The View from the Top

Atop Pikes Peak, a granite mountain once sacred to Native American tribes, you’ll feel like you’re standing on the top of the world. As the sun shines on the rolling hills and sparkling lakes below, you’ll forget you’re almost a mile (1.5 kilometers) into the sky! Gaze southeast toward the Sandia Mountains and New Mexico; the Sangre de Cristo Range stretches as far as the eye can see, while Pikes Peak Provincial Park in Manitoba, Canada seems just a stones throw away from this vantage point.

Photography enthusiasts love this spot: no filter, just pure color, light and nature. When taking in this moment, do remember to slow down, stand tall, let go of every expectation, your life will fall in place."
