The #3 pick on our Top 5 Scenic Roads in Colorado The #3 pick on our Top 5 Scenic Roads in Colorado list finds us in our own backyard. Pikes Peak Highway is a gorgeous 19-mile drive from just west of Colorado Springs to the summit of America’s Mountain at 14,115 feet. Officially constructed in 1915 by Spencer Penrose (who more famously established The Broadmoor), the road that inspired the song “America the Beautiful” had previously existed as a carriage road from 1888 to 1902. And not only is the highway a beautiful drive, it is also home to the annual Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC). Begun in 1916, the PPIHC, or Race to the Clouds, is a 12.42 race to the summit with more than 156 turns and an average grade of 7.4%. Both motorcycles and automobiles compete, and the current fastest record time is just below 8 minutes or an average of more than 90 mph. It’s a super fun event and a great excuse to spend a day sitting on Pikes Peak! #visitcos #colorfulcolorado #pikespeak #tinsheets
A year ago today we lost Finley. I’ve spent a lo A year ago today we lost Finley. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what I want to write. I’ve read so many beautiful tributes to dogs and initially considered doing the same, but it didn’t feel right. In the most simple terms, we miss him. A lot. There have been so many times over the past year that we wished he was with us to experience new things and new places. We wish that Saxby had gotten the opportunity to get to know him. We wish that we could hug him just one more time. We know he’s watching over us, as we often see some of his mannerisms and quirks in the things that Saxby does, and were so blessed that we shared the adventures we did with him, but we still miss him. A lot. #gonebutneverforgotten #finewinecanine #tinsheets

We're back on the virtual road with #4 on our Top We're back on the virtual road with #4 on our Top 5 Colorado Scenic Roads list- Independence Pass. Located between Aspen and Twin Lakes, Independence Pass reaches an elevation of 12,095 feet, making it the second highest pass with an improved road in the state and the second highest paved crossing of the Continental Divide in the U.S. The first record of Independence Pass was made by Zebulon Pike in 1806, but it didn’t get its name until a group of prospectors on July 4, 1879 defied an order from Governor Pitkin not to cross the pass (all settlers were to remain on the east side of the Continental Divide) and established the town of Independence on the west side of the pass. Used as a stage road that once took 10-25 hours and five changes of horses to cross, the road eventually became Highway 82. Despite earning highway status in 1927, the road remained unpaved until 1967. Only open in warmer months, it is a gorgeous drive that offers non-stop views and the opportunity to stretch your legs as you wander through the ghost town of Independence. And of course, you have to stop and have your picture taken with the pass sign! #colorfulcolorado #coloradolive #independencepass #aspen #tinsheets
