Pike's Peak. . .

was a bust!  Here's the view I had from the top:


Oh, and that's not just fog or rain; it's grapple (basically sleet but not exactly).  I had prepared for the cold, but didn't think about snow!  I'm glad I took the cog rail to the top, but it could stay a little longer.  Even without having a view to look at, there wasn't enough time to do anything before the train left again - only 30 minutes for a 3 hour round trip.  It didn't seem worth it to me.  (I just remembered that the train did leave 10-15 minutes late so that would have helped.)

Back at the base the weather was slightly better so I went to Garden of the Gods.



I think I must be tired of unique landscapes because I didn't stay that long.  (Now I know how my sister felt in Europe looking at all the churches I drug her to.)
