Pikes Peak

Thursday, when we rented the car, we also went up (or I guess down, since it was South) to Pikes Peak which is near Colorado Springs as well. It was actually kind of the whole point of renting the car.


I read about this Cog Train that you could take up the mountain instead of driving it, and really wanted to do it. I'm so happy that we did! For two reasons: 1. Taking the train was really fun, and 2. I don't think that our rental Kia would have made it up the mountain.


The train had windows that went almost all of the way down that were open, and it was a beautiful day. It didn't occur to me when we left Denver that it was going to be freezing when we got to the top of the 14,000 mountain, Oops!
