Jim's younger brother Justin and his family and his brother Joel all live in Denver, so they drove down to meet us! We decided to take the train: Cogs Railroad up to the summit of Pikes Peak. It was absolutely GORGEOUS with all the trees starting to change colors! It was about 79 degrees at the bottom, but when we got to the top 14, 110 ft., it was probably closer to 25- 30! It was COLD, especially with the wind. It was an amazing site! Here's a bit of trivia I learned:
The women who wrote "AMERICA the BEAUTIFUL" Katherine Lee Bates, penned the words to the song after taking a train to Pikes Peak. (click to read more). It truly is a majestic sight!

Kevin wants to run up Pike's Peak. They have a marathon there every year. See if Jim wants to do it with him.
(CRAZY, if you ask me!)
