Wikipedia Description: Pikes Peak Highway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pikes Peak Highway is a 19-mile toll road that runs from Cascade, Colorado to the summit house of Pikes Peak in El Paso County, Colorado. It is open year-round, "weather permitting", i.e. when snow removal is not excessively difficult.

The Pikes Peak Highway was constructed in 1915 and financed by Spencer Penrose at a cost of $500,000. However, an earlier road up the mountain, the Pike's Peak Carriage Road, dates back to 1889. The road is maintained by the city of Colorado Springs. The bottom third of this road is paved while the upper portion is gravel. The gravel portion is home to an annual automobile and motorcycle race called the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb.

Litigation was pursued by the Sierra Club, in 1998-1999, on grounds of environmental damage from the gravel portion of the road. Pursuant to the settlement agreed by the Sierra Club and the City of Colorado Springs, the unpaved portion of the Pikes Peak Highway is slated to become a hard-surface road, despite concerns that such a project would radically change the nature of the annual automobile and motorcycle race. Stated completion date for this paving project is 2010.

1971 photos: From 1966 to 1975, our family lived in Franklin, Michigan while Dad worked for Kelly Services in Detroit. Family trips this year: I rebelled against family trips -- my bedwetting was causing continual trauma for me -- and the family took my cousin Brian Bell with them to Colorado and Utah for the family trip. From 1953 to 1976, the bulk of these pictures were taken by my Dad, Glenn Guthrie At the time, he was using a complicated, but normal for the day, manual Kodak with light meters and such. All of Dad's pictures from this time were slides. In 2020, I collected all of Dad's slides (some of which had been in Mom's possession after the divorce) and digitized them for the site. From 1966 (when I started taking pictures) to 1979, I was using a Kodak Instamatic for most of my photos. From 1966 to 1989, all of my pictures were slides which is what I had grown up on. From 1966 to 1997, I was taking at most a couple of hundred photos a year. Image quality for my pictures is variable because these are scans of slides and/or prints at varying quality/resolutions. The Great Pandemic Digitizing Project: When I was first setting up my website in August, 2000, I had decided to digitize some of my favorite pre-digital slides and prints. The scans were fairly low resolution but they were good enough. With COVID forcing me to stay indoors, I decided to rescan ALL of my pre-digital images from multiple sources (slides, prints, and negatives) at a much higher resolution and quality setting. (I digitized Dad's slides at the same time). Instead of replacing my original scans, I added the new scans to existing pages, figuring I'd select the best ones later. As a result, multiple versions of images appear on most of these early pages. At some point, I'll take the time to do a final review and get rid of the duplicates.
