Pikes Peak Summit Photos: The Video

The best shots from this website, edited into their own video. Enjoy!

Stellar Sunset

FullSizeRender 33 — This was definitely one of the best sunsets that I was able to witness from the Summit of Pikes Peak.

Shadow of the Mountain

FullSizeRender 38 — The shadow of Pikes Peak to the east was especially prevalent during this day’s sunset.

Mount Evans Road

FullSizeRender 39 — These pictures clearly aren’t from Pikes Peak, but are instead from the Mount Evans, which like Pikes Peak, has a paved road all of the way to the summit.

FullSizeRender 27 — The Summit of Pikes Peak can be clearly seen from the Summit of Mount Evans.

Almost Clear Sunset

FullSizeRender 42 — It’s actually pretty rare for there not to be any clouds in the sky at sunset on the Pikes Peak Summit.

Mostly Cloudy Sunset

The setting sun lights up the non-cloudy part of the sky.

Mostly Sunny Sunset

FullSizeRender(1) — This photo was taken from the north face of the mountain, looking east (obviously) towards the sun setting between a thin layer of clouds and the mountains.

High Altitude Fox

There isn’t a lot of variety in wildlife on the Summit of Pikes Peak – mostly birds, marmots, and mountain goats, which is why it was surprising to see a fox make it to the summit. In order not to scare it away, I had to zoom in from a considerable distance away, hence the blurriness of the photo, but I still think it turned out okay.

Pikes Peak Summit Sign

This sign is a very popular location on the summit for photos. Even though it still shows the incorrect elevation, the views behind it make up for the discrepancy.

Another Day, Another Rainbow

Oddly enough, I don't recall it raining at all the day this picture was taken, at least not on the summit. — Oddly enough, I don’t recall it raining at all the day this picture was taken, at least not on the summit.
