While in Colorado Springs we had several hours to kill, so we decided to venture to the "top." Next stop, Pike's Peak 14,110 feet above sea level. |
|
The road (the very road they race to the summit on) going to the
summit was closed due to snow and high winds the day before, so
we had to take the cog train (uses a gear on the middle rail to
pull itself along). Here's our cog train at the summit.
