Day 2 involved a shot of coffee after the warm, sticky night at the Limon Super 8. Reminder – do not stay there! We left Limon for the Garden of the Gods near Colorado Springs and arrived early enough we could park in a parking spot in front of the building. After touring the visitor center we hiked the area to see what there is to see (sidebar: we were here last year as well). From there we trekked up Pikes Peak by Acura as far as they would let us drive and the remainder of the way by school bus. The bighorn sheep were beside the road to greet us. Much construction was still in process at the top but we were able to tour the new visitor center and see the tram landing.
