The Barr Trail
Last weekend, on September 13, 2008, I went on an adventure hiking up part of Pike’s Peak. It’s called the Barr Trail. It starts at the base of the mountain near the Cog Railway, and as you can see from the first photo, there is also a “hike” if you can call it that, called “The Incline” . You can either start up the Incline, and cut across to the Barr Trail, or do the whole incline or start the Barr Trail at the Cog Railway parking lot.
The Barr Trail itself goes all the way to the top of Pike’s Peak, if you care to go the whole way…..there’s even a campground at about the half way mark, that can only be reached I believe by hiking to it. I’ll have to add that to my “Things to do Before I Die List”!
The weather couldn’t have been better…..you never know in September what you’re gonna get, so if it’s nice, you gotta get out and do something….was a wonderful morning.
Here’s a photo at the bottom of “The Incline” looking straight up….do you see that climb?!!!

Photo Friday – Food
PHOTO FRIDAY: “FOOD”
Okay, I’m late again…….but here we go….
This photo is from my collection of cards I took on a trip back to California to visit my Mom a couple years ago….I ended up with about 5-8 shots that made it into my card collection that weekend! Success!! This is a grape vine that was growing in my Uncle’s back yard……don’t know what kind of grapes they are for sure, concord?? or possibly a wine variety?? I’ll have to ask him.
