Day 8, Manitou Springs, Colorado

Today we were off to the Pikes Peak Cog Railway for the 10:40 departure. http://www.cograilway.com/  We climb to 14,115 feet above sea level, sometimes at a 25% grade. Excellent views from the summit after a 1 1/2 hour 8.9 mile trip.
Next stop was the Manitou Cliff Dwellings, which recreate the fascinating architecture of the ancient Anasazi Indians who roamed the area from 1200BC to A.D. 1300.
