I hiked 7 miles (1-way) to the top of Almagre Mountain using CR370C to CR379. Almagre is the 3rd highest mountain in the Pikes Peak area and rises above tree line. The road I hiked is a 4WD road and is horrible for hiking due to it's chewed up condition. Miles of steep inclines don't help. I was so wiped out by the time I got to the top that I napped a half an hour. The area at the summit is covered in rock formations, wildflowers, and loose boulders. The predominantly red landscape used to have a Mars feel. Now every dirt patch is covered in shrubs and wild flowers. There are even a few hardy trees growing above tree line. It took much longer to summit than planned and I was anxious to leave before daily thunderstorms developed over this mountain. Hopefully my rushed exit didn't hurt my ability to film the beauty.
