Pikes Peak to 14,115 feet (4302 m), it is one of Colorado's 54 fourteeners.
This picturesque mountain sports a cog railway with service to the very top. It has a road to the top as well used by bicycles and cars.
It was once said to be unclimbable, now you can ride a bike to the top.
"America the Beautiful" was conceived here, it is a truly beautiful place.
The pictures in this gallery, however, are not that great. All, except few, were taken through a glass window of the train. This kills any sharpness and often results in ugly glare.
To see better pictures of critters visit our other Colorado galleries.
Note: the ORIGINAL size for pictures in this gallery is big, full 8MP. Do not use it as default viewing option.
PL: Pikes Peak (4302 m) to jeden z 54 Colorado szczytow przekraczajacych 14 tys stop (tzn wyzszych niz +/- 4200m). Gora kiedys uwazana za nie do zdobycia, dzis na szczyt mozna dojechac na rowerze (czy jak w naszym przypadku pociagiem).
Piekno tego miesca bylo motywacja dla Katharine Lee Bates do napisania “America the Beatiful”.
Zdjecia nie sa najlepszej jakosci. (robione przez szybe pociagu).
W tej galerii, ORIGINAL link prowadzi do zdjec w pelnej resolucji 8MP. Lepiej go nie urzywac.
