The doughnuts on top of 14,115' Pikes Peak in Colorado are world famous. But that's another story. This is the story of one runner's quest to run to the top of Pikes Peak in search of bacon! With nothing more than a video camera the runner leaves Barr Camp which is halfway up the Barr Trail at an elevation of 10,200' and heads for the summit. During his 6 mile run to the top of Pikes Peak everyone he meets encourages him on his bacon quest. Rocks, clouds and snow drifts will not stop him! But the bacon he finds is not quite what he was expecting...

  • If you did went to Barr Camp and asked Teresa, you say "How its going?" then she will say "Bacon on top of Pikes Peak!!". LOL!

  • Great video, Matt! I just did Elk Park - Barr Camp - the Summit yesterday for the first time, and its great to relive it through your video! (Bacon-free unfortunately!)

  • Very clever!  I too am a Bacon Brothers fan and I was very excited to hear that they were planning to hike for this wonderful cause. Watching your video definitely helped me to see how difficult a hike it was! Congratulations to everyone!
