Cog Railroad

Instead of driving pikes peak like we did last time, we decided to save Adam from car sickness and headed up on the Cog Railroad. For $34 a person you can take the 90 minute ride up Pikes Peak. Along the way you learn about the history and sites, trees and animals along the mountain.
At the top the weather is on average 30 degrees lower than  the bottom.

At 14,000 ft. sits a little old abandoned house that reminded me so much of the alps...check out the pictures below. The one on the left is the Alps and the right Pikes Peak

We all dressed quite warm and spent the day upon the mountain.
