Pikes Peak

Pikes Peak is 14,110 feet tall and one of many mountains in Colorado that are over 14,000 feet. Fortunately for us there is a Cog Train that goes up Pike Peak and we didn't have to climb all the way up. Although I would like to hike up sometime but then our 4 month old would not be able to come with us. 

So we put his little train conductor hat on and took the "Pikes Peak Railway" to the top. 

We were told when we got on that it was 6˚F or -14˚C at the top. When we got to the top it was the same but the wind was blowing about 30 miles per hour which made the relative temperature -25˚F or -32˚C.  So we didn't stay out very long but it was funny to see the group of High School kids who were in t-shirts running around trying to take photos. 

Yes, our son is out there with us in the -25˚F weather. 

Colorado Springs

We are staying with our friends Scott and Susan here in Colorado Springs and the first day we were here Scott came in after breakfast and said "Are you ready? We are going to a 6 mile hike". I thought he was joking and then we went for a hike and it was over 6 miles. 

It was so beautiful and was the longest hike we have taken our 4 month old baby on. 

Estes Park Colorado

We just were in Colorado and got a chance to visit an amazing place called Estes Park. If your ever in Colorado you have to see this place. It was so quiet, all I could hear was the wind in the trees and a few birds.
