Cog Train-Pikes Peak or Bust


Lele and Popie came for a visit a couple weeks ago.  It was a short short visit, but then again their visits are always too short.  We managed to sneak in a couple of fun things in our extended weekend together.  The boys took the cog train up to the top of Pikes Peak.  The idea of a train ride was exhilarating.  The execution of the long ride was another story.  The boys did good considering the train creeks up the tracks at a very slow pace and there is nothing to see aside from trees outside the window.  Once we reached our 14,115 elevation and were standing on the top of the mountain witnessing the view that inspired the song America, The Beautiful, my camera died.  Oh well, you will just have to take my word that it was lovely.
