Pikes Peak Cog

February 6. I've always wanted to ride the train to the summit of Pikes Peak. Today we made it to 11,500 feet. 3,000 feet short due to heavy snows and winds during the winter. It was still worth it. The views were amazing. And the 25% grade made my knees weak as we made our descent in the first car, front seat, next to the conductor. :)



You can see all the way to Kansas.

Our ride. The Cog. Developed by a Swiss man in 1891. Thank you, Swiss man!
