We had 9:30 reservations to ride the Cog Train to the summit of Pikes Peak. It felt like it was going straight up-some of the grade was 25% and looking out the window was even scary.
When we left the station to go up the temp on Pikes Peak was 36 degree, the wind chill of 20. We were so glad we brought our vests and coats. Sweat shirts were flying out of the gift store.
The conductor on the train said this was Colorado gravel.
We did it! Another check off on our bucket list
My gosh we were so high up, Ron is trying to save me-neither one of us
like heights-this was a real challenge for us.
We thought these people were nuts!
The cog train tracts.
View of the landscape on our way down.
I had a hard time standing up-I kept leaning backward-thank goodness the rock was there.
We had a fun day and looking forward to new adventures tomorrow.
