Description
On 16 July 2017 the Pikes Peak Highway opened at 4:15 AM to allow photographers and visitors to arrive at the 14,115 foot summit to watch the sunrise at 5:45 AM. The ocean of clouds that covered much of the city of Colorado Springs below created an interesting scene and the higher clouds helped color the sunrise.
