One of the coolest places I have ever been to is Pikes Peak Mountain in Colorado. It literally takes your breath away from the altitude but it is a majestic peak to ascend to the top. It was cold but not bitterly the day I went up on Pikes Peak. It was clearer at first but in a little while the cloud cover started settling down over the peak and it was getting more closed in. This made me feel isolated but exuberant at the same time and added to the thrill of coming down the mountain! I loved the snow capped peaks and the little lakes that meander through the mountain. I just pulled the car over in the safety banks and got out and stared at them and wondered over nature and its beauty. The fact that it can have snow there and not actually be cold is amazing to me as Imp from a Midwest state where cold is COLD!
