Pikes Peak, Denver, Co

We went to Pike's Peak the last Sunday we were in Colorado. We stopped and shopped in a little town before boarding the train that took us up the mountain. The train was actually a cog railway system and the whole way up was set at a 25% incline! It took about an hour and a half going up and the same coming back. It was very cool once we reached the top. We did enjoy donuts and hot chocolate:-) Because of such thin air at the elevation of 14,110 feet, it was very hard to catch your breath! It was really neat to enjoy the view and actually look DOWN to see the clouds. Definitely something to see at least once in your life.
