Friday Joel and his dad, Bill, hiked Pikes Peak. The trail they took was 12.6 miles from the foot of the mountain to the summit. Pikes Peak is 14,110 feet in elevation. It was a very big hike. They started at 5:20 am and finished at 11:50 am (6.5 hours). They say that a person in good shape should expect to take 7 to 9 hours to get to the peak--so they did better than most. Pretty impressive. The only thing that was bad about the hike was that I forgot their bologna sandwiches (Betty, Sarah, the girls, and I picked them up at the top).
