#271 Slowly

After one hour, twenty minutes of slowly ascending Pikes Peak on the cog railway we are above tree line and almost to the top of the mountain. This view looks down to another train on a siding. It was well worth the ticket price! We could have driven the road which is now almost all paved (at $1 million per mile) but I enjoyed the relaxing ride and humorous and informative tour guide. We also had friendly seat mates from Italy. Another beautiful day in Colorado!

  1. The slow trip up the mountain must have been exhilarating.
