| We decided to go up the back way to Rampart Reservoir. We headed out from Garden of the Gods by the Balanced Rocks and took Rampart Road ( Rd 300), built by the CCC. A gravel road but fairly well maintained and wide enough. |
 |
| You go up by the Waldo Canyon Burn Scar; the Waldo Canyon had a huge fire three years ago. The aspens are regrowing pretty good. |
 | |
| We got some great hold-onto-your-seat kinda views while praying another vehicle wasn't coming around the corner :) |
 |
| Pike's Peak in the distance. |
 |
| Great views of Colorado Springs from up here. |
 |
| Looking out towards Manitou Springs. |
 |
| A lot of wildflowers were flourishing in the burn scar area. |
 |
| A view of the road we came up on. |
 |
| Yep, Pike's Peak again! |
Nice views. The one of the road and the curve made me grit my teeth.
