Pikes Peak

Then we headed down to the bottom of Pikes Peak to catch the Cog Railway with one of Eric's Millersville ROTC buddies and his family. It was about an hour trip to the top and we were allowed to stay at the top for 40 minutes to prevent any altitude sickness. I took quite a few pictures on the way up the mountain through the window...

Here is a waterfall that is partially frozen.

This is the house of the man that takes care of things on the mountain...he has a long, long, long driveway.

Sign at 8,832 feet...

Sign at 10,012 feet...

Views on the way up the mountain.

Here is the cog that was in front of us...

And this is the view from 14,110 feet...pictures don't really do it justice but here they are anyway...

All of us at the top...

Daddy and Alexis in front of America the Beautiful plaque...

More pictures at the top...

The cog that we rode up to the top...

Lastly, we though this picture was cool...see the rays of sun shining onto the one spot at the bottom left of the picture...
