The snow is almost gone from Pikes Peak, so I thought I’d show it to you at various stages from the past couple of months. None of these are shining examples of amazing photography, but hopefully you get the idea!

It can snow on Pikes Peak all year long, but it does usually melt all the way during the summer. I found a chart of snow-free dates for Barr Trail, which kind of gives you an idea of when the mountain is usually snow-free. I don’t think the mountain is probably completely snow-free by the time Barr Trail is, but it’s probably pretty close.
