Colorado Day 3 - Pikes Peak & Garden of the Gods

We awoke to a sunny and beautiful day.  The day we was waiting for to head up Pike's Peak.  Dusty and I had rode the cog railway up the last time we were in Colorado Springs and I thought the kids would enjoy it.  The views up were spectacular.  It was such a clear day that you could see for miles....even into other states. 

The view off to the west was spectacular.  You could see the continental divide going for miles and miles.

We had 30 minutes at the top before the train headed back down, so I started snapping fast and furious...including one to make my mom nervous! :)

On the way back down we were treated to some bighorn sheep.

We spent some time walking around Manitou Springs and then swung by Garden of the Gods.  We may go back tomorrow, but it was such a beautiful day today and tomorrow's forecast calls for clouds.  So we stopped for a while and walked around.

Aaron said that doing this would be cool.  I think I'll stay on the ground.

One more day here in Colorado then it's time to head the car back east.
