Colorado16: Pike's Peak Cog Railway

Our last Colorado adventure was a ride on the Cog Railway up to Pike's Peak. We had a beautiful, sunny afternoon to make the trip! This was a wonderful experience and the perfect end to our time in Colorado! The trip takes about 3 hours with 30 minutes at the top of Pike's Peak where it was about 30 degrees (with a wind chill in the 20s). I took lots of photos of the beautiful scenery as we slowly made our way to the top. This was definitely an experience we will remember in a vacation that we all enjoyed! 

Colorado16: Garden of the Gods II

These are the photos from our second trip to Garden of the Gods that we took with Darren on our last day in Colorado Spring. I love how beautiful these photos look with that gorgeous blue sky in the background. What a difference a day makes! I am so glad that we got to go back a second time and share this place with Darren. 

Colorado16: Manitou Cliff Dwellings

Our final day in Colorado Springs, we started with a tour of the Manitou Cliff Dwellings. The best part about these is that you can go inside the dwellings. We had a great time free-exploring and then going back through the dwellings again and reading all the information. There is also a museum on-site where we learned more about the history of the Native Americans who built & inhabited the area.
