WOW! 14,110 feet -- that's the elevation of Pike's Peak and we were up there! It took about an hour to get to the summit on the cog railway. We saw some Elk and Big Horn Sheep on the way up. The temperature at the base was about 86 degrees, but at the summit it was in the 50's and we saw patches of snow at the top.
While we were eating the famous Pike's Peak donuts and drinking our hot chocolate at the top, we saw a woman who had obviously hiked up to the summit with here two border collies. I can't even imagine hiking that far up!
We will be traveling to our last stop, Rocky Mountain National Park, Tuesday morning.
