We had so much fun with this challenge last week that we decided to go ahead and do it again. There is a tremendous amount of diversity when hiking the trails of Colorado. All of these photos were taken on the same hike in Beaver Creek in September of 2010. It was a beautiful day and the scenery was truly spectacular.
Living in Colorado provides the opportunity to get out and see some gorgeous scenery. We love to get out and go hiking and immerse ourselves in nature, but the icing on the cake is that sometimes we don’t need to go any farther than our own front porch. This photo was taken from the front of our house not that long ago, but we see similar sunsets all of the time.
Living in Colorado Springs at the base of Pikes Peak is truly a wonderful place to not only live, but for friends and family to come and visit. One thing that everyone who visits us loves to do is to take the cog railway to the top of Pikes Peak. The cog railway, which is the highest train in the world at over 14,000 feet (4,250 meters), just celebrated its 125th anniversary of operation in June of this year, so it is historic as well providing fascinating views of Pikes Peak and the front range. For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Tracks – trains, rail tracks, etc., we chose a few photos from one of trips on the cog railway. The views from the top of Pikes Peak are simply amazing.
