[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3132068, member: 7900"] Follow up: If you go the Pike's Peak route, be sure and have water for everyone and tell them to sip at the water as you gain altitude. That helps alleviate altitude sickness. I failed to do that one time and got involved with taking pictures instead of taking water. I had to sit in the vehicle and sip on water for about 10 minutes before I was comfortable with driving back down the mountain. If you go the route of going to Victor and Cripple Creek, seek out [URL='https://terrymiller.smugmug.com/Colorado-Beauty-and-Attractions/Phantom-Canyon-Road-11']Phantom Canyon Road[/URL] drive from Highway 50 east of Canon City to Victor and [URL='https://terrymiller.smugmug.com/Colorado-Beauty-and-Attractions/Shelf-Road-Colorado/']Shelf Road[/URL] from the south side of Cripple Creek back to Canon City. (Pics on my Smugmug site. See links above.) [URL='https://caveofthewinds.com/']Cave of the Winds[/URL] is an option if any of your group are interested in caverns. They also have some "thrill" rides.
