It s 1973, and construction work on Pikes Peak is taking place near the summit.
One worker stopped near Glen Cove to smoke a cigarette when a wet and nude woman appeared.
According to legends, the worker threw his leather jacket around her shoulders and gave her a ride to the nearest toll booth.
He described her grip as clammy, and her breath against his skin as freezing, icy cold. The woman didn t stick around once they stopped at the toll booth, throwing off his jacket and running back up the hill, according to records of his account.
The next morning, the worker took a receipt he discovered in the pocket of that jacket to the Glen Cove gift shop, dated Sept. 21, 1932. It was only then that he learned the woman who rode on the back of his bike was actually a ghost.
On the Santa Fe Trail: 1821-2021
The bicentennial of the National Historic Trail is a great reason to hit the road and rediscover why it is the West’s original “Mother Road.”
When you get right down to it, almost every trail ever blazed was for profit. Despite all the glory associated with them, the lure of money was behind the Chisholm Trail (first for trade goods, then for selling longhorns in Kansas)and the California and Klondike trails (to find goldfields) and the like. The Santa Fe Trail, on the other hand, never even thought about fame it was all about money.
