Pike's Peak and Seven Falls

There are not enough adjectives to describe the beautiful ride up to the top of Pike's Peak at Manatou Springs Colorado ....We took a Cog Railway up to 14,000 feet ...What a ride !!!!

Our trip began at 10:40 a.m. and took 3 hours round trip which included a 20 minute rest at the top ...What an adventure !!!!   The Temperature at the bottom when we left was about 60 degrees (+15 C) and when we got to the top it was 32 degrees (0 C) with a windchill of 22 (I don't know what that is in Celsius) ;)   

This was our train and we were in that first car ....



 



 
We moved on to Seven Falls - also a beautiful view of a different kind -
 

 
 
It was another fantastic day of seeing Colorado - it is such a beautiful state ...tomorrow we go to the Royal Gorge - Pictures to follow - I took 480 photos today alone ...aren't you glad I didn't post them all :)
 
"Collect Moments not Things"
 
 
Happy Trails!!!
