Pikes Peak is 14,110 feet above sea level. It's a 13 mile hike to go from the base of Pikes Peak in Manitou Springs all the way to the top. I didn't go all the way up and had to stop several times to catch my breath. The air gets pretty thin up here and sometimes it's hard to breath. One of the best things about Colorado is the fantastic skiing.
People come here from all over the world to ski in the Colorado mountains.
Since it is such a favorite wintertime sport, I just had to try it out myself. GT's new friend Ryan helped him get the hang of standing on skis. Although it was strange the first time, GT had fun. Another thing I did during my trip was to visit the orthodontist's office with my friend Kaitlyn. It was so cool.
