Back in March of 2015 @melodyrussell and myself and our two girls went to Colorado Springs Co. and got to take The Cog Railway to the top of Pikes Peak!!
So here are a few pictures of cog train that took us to the top!!
The round trip takes all of 3 hours and 10 minutes!! There are some very impressive views along the way up and at one point you can see Pikes Peak Road, but that's a post for another time!
You are only allowed to stay at the summit for 30-40 minutes as some people start to feel the effects of high altitude sickeness (slight nausea, headache) after about 30 minutes! Our oldest daughter actually did get a headache but it soon went away as we started back down the mountain!
This is definitely a trip i would suggest you take if you are ever in the area!! It's something we will never forget!!!!

Great colours!
Thank you!!
Always wanted to do that.
If you get the chance do it!!
Is this the same Pikes Peak where the hill racing happens every year?
Yep!
