Cog Railway up to Pikes Peak

Doug came down for part of the weekend and we were unsure of what to go do; my mom mentioned going up Pikes Peak since it was such a gorgous day out! Well we are so glad we did b/c the trees were gorgous! And it was the perfect day to go up, even if it snowed at the top, b/c the next day it snowed for the first time in Colorado Springs! We had a great time:)





















Pikes Peak's famous high altitude donuts; which tasted absolutely delicious, especially dipped in hot chocolate since it was FREEZING outside at the top!

Raining over Colorado Springs...where's the snow at the top of Pikes Peak?



Oh right, spoke too soon! There's the snow:) And of course my baby was stubborn and didn't want to put on a sweatshirt!


Doug looks so happy with his hot chocolate and that it's snowing;)


The car we were on


Heading back down the cog railway to the depot! Notice how beautiful it is closer to the bottom with all the trees; and it's stopped snowing!

This couple was so cute; they were on their honeymoon! Doug got a little embarassed that I took this picture (even though they didn't even know)! Atleast I didn't ask them their names so I could stalk them on facebook and tag them in it haha
