Pikes Peak Highway

For those who thought I climbed Pikes Peak, I cheated. There are actually three ways to get to the top, and hiking's the hardest; I've done it, but not this time. There's also a cog railroad, but I drove up the highway, which goes all the way to the top. Here's one of the views if you get out of the car by one of the lakes.

The lakes are artificial, here's the dam for this lake. The highway runs across the top of this dam.

And finally, here's a view down onto the highway from above treeline; again, this photo was taken from the side of the road. You can see the highway winding down from the right to the left, and then down into the trees.

This highway is about as scenic as it gets, so it's my post for Scenic Sunday.
