Colorado Detours Hidden Trails and Pikes Peak

Описание: I had to travel to Colorado for work meetings, but combined with a few days off to celebrate my nephew Luc's graduation, I turned it into a week of exploration and family adventure.

This trip was different - John stayed home for work and our friend Lauren's graduation (we had to divide and conquer graduation ceremonies!), so I chased sunrise at Garden of the Gods, followed curiosity down unmapped forest roads, and discovered some of the most beautiful dispersed camping I've ever seen. The detours became the highlight.

When family time arrived, we summited Pikes Peak together and Luc joined me for an early morning hike to St. Peter's Dome. Sometimes the best adventures blend work, family, and spontaneous exploration.
