Plains towards denver. It is a beacon in many ways for people who are traveling towards the mountains. I remember many times growing up in the midwest, coming to colorado, and knowing youre almost there when you start to see pikes peak in the distance. You can see it from 100 or more miles east of here. It is this thing that seems to pull you in as youre coming west. Right now we are at crystal reservoir. We are at 9500 feet. Perhaps one of the best views in the world. In 1779, when Thomas Jefferson and others were declaring independence on the east coast, this area was claimed by the spanish. In 1779, Spanish Colonial forces came within a few miles of where we are now. They were exploiting the region and searching for hostile American Indian people. In 1806, montgomery play equus sent into the west to the explore the region. Pike was sent to the southwest part of the territory. From his perspective, when he came out here, you walked off the map.

Unknown. When pike sees the grand peek, he thinks he will reach the top of it in just a few days but it takes weeks to approach. They reached what we believe is a Lower Mountain on the flanks of pike peek called mount rosa. Mike wrote in the journal that given the condition and the equipment they had at the time no one could have summited the peek.

Lasting legacy will be that the American People saw what a lawless presidency looks like. What Big Government overreach looks like and the American People are going to say no, i think i will take a rain check.
