csco066P7192076 The whole outcrop near the Siamese Twins. csco066P7192076
csco067P7192078 And now the cumulonimbus cloud has formed its anvil over Pike's Peak, and will later move over the Colorado Springs area as another daily afternoon thunderstorm. This will be the case again the next day, when Brad hiked the mountain. csco067P7192078
csco068P7192080 Our final stop within Garden of the Gods was to Balanced Rock and Steamboat Rock. This is the main section of Garden of the Gods (viewed to the northeast) taken from the Balanced Rock parking area. csco068P7192080
csco069P7192082 Again, Brad trying not to get crushed by Balanced Rock. csco069P7192082
csco070P7192088 The distant main section between Balanced Rock (left) and Steamboat Rock (right). csco070P7192088
csco071P7192089 Steamboat Rock. csco071P7192089
csco072P7192092 The main distant section through the roadcut in Steamboat Rock. csco072P7192092
csco073P7192093 A more side view of Balanced Rock. From this angle it looks more precarious than the other angle. csco073P7192093
csco074P7192098 A zoomed in shot of the csco074P7192098
csco075P7192100 A self-portrait of me with the main section in the distance. csco075P7192100
csco076P7192105 Brad, near Steamboat Rock. csco076P7192105
csco077P7192107 The geology of Balanced Rock and the Garden of the Gods area... csco077P7192107
csco078P7192108 ...with a zoomed in photo of the geologic cross-section. csco078P7192108
csco079P7192109 Since we had some time before dinner, we headed over to scout out the parking area for Brad's coming hike of Pike's Peak. He took the Barr Trail up Pike's Peak, so this is the view to the southwest from the information hut near the beginning of the trail. Pike's Peak Granite makes up the outcrops in the distance. csco079P7192109

csco081P7192113 Barr Trail info. csco081P7192113
csco082P7192115 The topographic map of the Barr Trail (red dotted line). The trailhead and parking lot are on the right, and the summit on the left. csco082P7192115
csco083P7202140 (July 20, 2006) The next day was once again another great morning. We had more great clear views of Pike's Peak from the hotel parking lot. csco083P7202140
csco084P7202141 Zooming in closer, you can begin to make out the parking area on top of the mountain that people can drive up to, and... csco084P7202141
csco085P7202143 ...the place can be made out even more by zooming in even further. This is where Brad hiked to over the next couple days. I was headed back to St. Louis this day, but his journey was about to begin. He made it up and back, but not without a close encounter with a lightning bolt or two. Good Job, Brad! Wish I could have joined you. csco085P7202143
