USAFA Chapel, Colorado Springs, CO

During 1995-96, I was fortunate enough to spend the academic year as Distinguished Visiting Professor of Spanish at the United States Air Force Academy.

2007: I have returned as DVP of Spanish for the 2007-08, 2008-09 academic years, and we are happy to be back in Colorado Springs and at USAFA!

1995: One highlight of our first stint at USAFA was climbing Pike's Peak.  My husband, Jeff, and I are eager to go at 6:30 a.m.

 

2007: How could we not do this again? On 9 September, we start up the Barr Trail at 6:10 a.m.

Atop Pike's Peak

1995: Six hours later, we are at the top:  13 miles of trail, altitude:  14,110 feet. If I look a bit disoriented, it's because I was trying to find some oxygen up there!

 

2007: We reach the top at 12:05 p.m. You still get disoriented up there, but the view is beautiful. THEN . . . we decided to hike back down! After a 40 minute rest on top, we began our descent. Two miles down it snowed on us for 5 minutes! We reached the car at the bottom at 6:05 p.m., very tired but happy to have accomplished the climb and descent (26 miles total).
