Days 16-22 / 12 July 2026/ Colorado Springs, CO
July 12, 2026
We spent our last day in Santa Fe on July 6 taking it easy and enjoying the pleasant weather before moving on to our next destination.
On July 7 we drove about 320 miles north to Colorado Springs, a fairly easy trip straight up Interstate 25. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and rainy when we arrived, so Pike's Peak—one of the city's most famous landmarks—remained hidden behind the clouds.
We checked into Peak RV Resort. Calling it a "resort" might be stretching the definition a bit. About half of the sites appear to be occupied by permanent residents, and the campground sits right next to a major highway. It is definitely noisy! Still, we're gradually getting used to it, and it will serve us well for the two weeks we'll be here. You can see my review of our camping experience at: Peak RV Resort
