While we were home, our WONDERFUL friend Rolf was able to get us tickets to ride the Cog Railway up to the top of Pike's Peak. We couldn't have asked for a better day, blue skies, 80 degrees… just gorgeous!
Here are some breathtaking pictures we were able to snap on our trip.
The tracks heading up to the summit.
Stylin'
Yeah, that's right. 14,110 feet!
Riding on the cog!
Some of the views on the way up.
That train left shortly after we did.
Our cog trains parked at the top.
They allow you about 20 minutes at the top to enjoy the view, take some pictures and eat some famous "Pikes' Peak Doughnuts."
Although it was 80 degrees in Denver, it was a whopping 15 degrees at the summit! And guess who forgot jackets… Yup. It was COLD! (Luckily I had a sweatshirt and a blanket for Evan.)
But it was totally worth it!
They say you can see 7 states from the top. And I believe it!
"America the Beautiful" was conceived at the summit.
Can you blame her, it is BEAUTIFUL at the top!
Headed back down.
I love this lake, half frozen and half thawed!
It was an incredible trip. TOTALLY worth freezing our tails off.
Well, Thank you for stopping by!
And this is only 1/2 of the pictures from our trip; so stay tuned!
Love,
The Winter's
