Wednesday 7-31

The night before we left Alamosa this rainbow appeared after a storm, this was shot from inside the camper.

 

Today we got up to clear skies and rode the Cog RR to the top of Pikes Peak. It was an hour and a half ride one way. It is a slow and relaxing ride with beautiful views. At the top we had their famous donuts, still warm then took in the views. Karen and I did OK at 14,110 feet but had to walk very slow and drink lots of water to offset the effects of the high altitude.
 
 

 
We stopped for another train headed down to pass

 
This critter was drinking water pooled on a rock 

 
Here comes the other train


 
Almost to the top





 
 
The plaque on the face were the words to "America the Beautiful"
