The first morning of our little adventure took us to the Pike's Peak Cog Railway. This was so beautiful. Our train left at 10:40 am. The temp at the bottom of the railway was in the 90s. When we reached the summit it was about 40 degrees.
BBRRR.
The summit is at 14, 110 feet.
Looking off the one side of the summit, it was pretty much straight off and rocky.
On top of the summit. And yes, I love the self timer on these cameras.
This is the road that you can drive up yourself. It was
soooo steep. There were no guardrails and on the way down you have to check your brakes three times to make sure they are not overheating. That's why I decided that the railway was the best way to get to the top.
Looking up at the car in front of us. Some of the inclines were at 25%.
This was the kid that sat with us. A very big DUDE kid. I think he slept most of the way.
It was absolutely beautiful.
The climb.
Getting started.
Seriously green. Loved it.
Love these boys.
And these boys.
All aboard.
This one was well worth the money.
