Pikes Peak

So now for a fun post! :) As many of you know that while at SPLICE we were in Palmer Lake, which is right near Colorado Springs. That meant that we lived for three weeks next to the Colorado Rockies, and one of the most famous mountains in the US is Pikes Peak. So the second weekend that we were in CO. The posse (Stephanie, Renee, Oriana, Ashley and I) took the cog railway up to Pikes Peak. It was truly a blast. So here are some pics:

This is the cog rail that took us up to the top. This train can stop within three seconds.

The Posse(minus Renee who is taking the picture)on our way up to the summit of Pikes Peak!


View from the top of Pikes Peak. It was a bit foggy because there was a huge wildfire on the New Mexico/Colorado boarder.

I learned that the song "America the Beautiful" was actually written as a result of a trip up to the summit of Pikes Peak. You learn something new everyday :)

The Posse at the summit!! I love these girls and we had an amazing time!
