Watch Fireworks Show on Pikes Peak
Every year since 1922, the AdAmAn Club has hiked the east slope of Pikes Peak and put on a dazzling fireworks show to be seen miles away on a clear night. The AdAmAn Club began as 5 mountaineers who decided to hike up Pikes Peak on December 30th and 31st to light off fireworks. Every year since the Club selects one person to add to the group, hence the name Add A Man. You can join a list of folks to be selected as a guest climber in hopes of becoming a full-fledged member someday, although the website also lets those interested that you may be a guest climber for 10 years before getting an invitation. Consider it good practice in the meantime.
For those not interested in hiking the icy, snow drifted and -50 windchill mountain side, pull up a chair facing the peak and enjoy your hot cocoa as the fireworks ignite at the stoke of midnight. It really is a beautiful sight to behold as you hope for all wonderful things to come in the new year.
