Colorado, Pikes Peak Cog Railway

 While in the Garden of the Gods, on a guided nature walk -- we learned many things.    And, since we were so close to Pikes Peak - the guide explained driving, hiking, or taking the train to the top ... We chose the Cog Railway train.    Cog Railway Webpage

 1:20pm - last train of the day.

 The train goes straight up ... takes over an hour.

Our Week-end in Colorado

DH and I were invited to a 100th birthday party.   Our friend's Mom!!!    Imagine being 100 years old?   No, neither can I.    The weather was near freezing in the am, afternoon 56-60 degrees and Sunny!!   As in, needed sunscreen.    Sunglasses and a Hat were a necessity.

I've never been to Colorado.    On Sunday, DH and I visited the Garden of the Gods.      

We went on a nature walk (led by Pat - who was excellent) and I learned a lot about Colorado, the park, Pikes Peak .... train to Pikes Peak (stay tuned, more about the train tomorrow).

 (cheat sheet).

I enjoyed seeing the Magpie birds and  Big Horn Sheep.
