You're looking at an image of Pikes Peak on New Year's Eve, when the famed AdAmAn Club puts on an incredible fireworks display from the summit right at midnight. It's an awesome tradition that started in 1922, and yes the club members hike to the top of the peak for this event -- they don't do it the easy way. Imagine hiking to the summit of a 14,000+ foot tall mountain in the dead of winter and one of the shortest days of the year! I personally have never made it to the top of Pikes Peak on foot, although I have summited a (small) handful of other fourteeners. Some of them  are "easier" than others. I put that in quotes for a reason. Ha! Hiking up a giant mountain is not exactly easy!
