Pikes Peak - My America!

I recently had the pleasure of riding on the Cog Railway up Pikes Peak with some friends. The scenery was beautiful on the journey, however, I did not see any large wildlife.  It holds a special place in American Patriotic music as from the 14,110 summit Katherine Lee Bates saw amber waves of grain, purple mountains majesty, and spacious skies, resulting the her inspiration for "America the Beautiful."
