Pike's Peak

View of Pike's Peak from our motel in Colorado Springs

I had planned to drive to Pike's Peak and then learned we could take a Cog Railroad to the top. We didn't have tickets and the website said they were sold out. It was suggested we could get on a wait list if we arrived and there was an opening. So we drove to the train station and got tickets right away. It was a very good decision to go by the train. It was cool at the top and the air was thin but we made it OK. -Nancy
