A Place Forgotten by God 🌄

My 3-day Denver road trip was nothing short of epic! 🚗 Day 1: Garden of the Gods + Pikes Peak "Pikes Peak Highway: A 14,115-ft Philosophy Lesson" Snuck out from a Denver conference to conquer America’s highest paved road! Started with Garden of the Gods—red rock marvels that left me speechless. Then, the real test: driving through clouds, white-knuckling the wheel. Altitude hit hard—turns out, human ambition bows to oxygen deprivation. 😵‍💫 DIY win: Skipped the cog railway and drove myself (freedom to stop anytime > cramped trains). 🌊 Day 2: Glacier Lake Trifecta Pro tip: Book your $30 vehicle pass a day early! 1️⃣ Bear Lake Postcard-perfect reflections of Longs Peak. Dress code: Puffer jacket + beanie = 200% photo boost! 2️⃣ Sprague Lake Another mirror-like alpine pool, equally stunning. 3️⃣ Cub Lake Hidden gem with friendly deer! erie beauty: Charred trees from past wildfires. #DenverTravel #NationalParks #RoadTripGoals
