The view you're looking at, is the North West side of Pikes Peak (14,110 ft).  Devil's Playground  is to the right and gets its name from the way lightning jumps from rock to rock along this formation.  Some have speculated that this electrical activity could only be caused by the devil himself.  In fact, this is one of the most electrically active zones on the planet, experiencing thousands of lighting strikes a year.  The switch backs, at an altitude near 12,000 ft climb foolishly toward the Devils Playground is not  only traveled by thousands of tourists year round, but is challenged each year by hundreds of speed freaks knawing their way to the top,  in 600+ horse powered vehicles,  traveling at speeds of up to 130 mph!
