Since we were only a few hours away, we decided to drive to Colorado Springs. We had to pack as much as we could into one day. First, we drove to Manitou Springs. We had reservations to ride the cog railroad to the top of Pikes Peak however we were only able to go 12,000 feet due to the snow. I was disappointed. I was looking forward to the view from the top & a big cup of hot chocolate.
The ride was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. We sit next to a fun retired couple, who were traveling the world in a RV and they told us lots of stories. The view was amazing but the pictures I took from inside the train didn’t turn out very good.

Here is a view of the mountains {Pikes Peak is the one covered in snow}
After eating a buffalo burger, we went to Garden of Gods. If you are ever in Colorado Springs, you must visit this place! We didn’t have time to hike any of the trails but we drove around and looked at all the beautiful rock formations. There were people climbing the rocks, riding segways and horses. We want to come back again when we can stay longer!
