My dad and I rode the Cog Railway up Pike's Peak. Took about an hour and a half or so each way. Judy the conductor entertained us along the way and pointed out the sights.
I wish it didn't cost so much to make ViewMaster slides, since what looks absolutely breathtaking when you are there often looks pretty boring in a two-dimensional photo. You really need a 3-D medium to do it justice.

The cog rail train at the end of the line. |
Me at the summit of Pike's Peak. I have never seen such an elaborate sign at a summit. |
And my dad. |
My dad and I at the summit. You can see the Windows 98 desktop wallpaper above. |
This is a Masonic time capsule at the summit. I had little clue what it was at the time, other than being the work of some secret society; but thanks to my friend Jeff Lomicka, who identified it for me when I returned. |
USGS geodetic marker at summit. Some strange people like to find these things (no names mentioned). Interesting that Judy and the folks at the top knew what it was when I asked about it, but did not know exactly where it was. Sheesh, you'd think this was geocaching. |
Another summit photo. |
Panorama from top of Pike's Peak. You can see the Hand of God inscribing the vista on the left, and the Cog Railway at the bottom. |
Somewhere in this photo there is a yellow-bellied, lily-livered whispering marmot. Or something like that. See if you can find him. |
On the way down, we see some Colorado gravel. |
Vistas on the way down. |

Snow in July! |
Somehow this looked more exciting in person. |
Nice shot, Dad. |
