Pikes Peak

In 2014 I took the Cog Railway up to Pikes Peak summit and when we finally got to the top, it was hailing and we couldn't see anything. Despite that, the wilderness and views along the ride were still jaw-dropping and the train ride itself is quite the experience since you are going up an incline knee to knee with a perfect stranger.

Here are some photos from my visit

Hail on the SUMMIT!

Getting off the Cog

The best view we got

nothing but clouds

in the clouds

hail

nowhere but up

lakes in the valleys

Aspen forest

A Marmot!
