Cog Railway
The cog railcars we came to the summit in. We were seated in the "Leadville" car.

Holy crap, the clouds are drifting diagonally! (I)
No, not really. Mike took this picture while we were paused on the uphill climb. He tilted the camera so the slope would be flat. Kind of gives you an idea of how steep it is.

Actually, not this time. This shows the side of the mountain at its proper angle.

Mountain View
The view to the southwest from the summit; lots of pretty mountains. You can see well over a hundred miles away.

View from the top.
Looking north east this time. You apparently can normally see Kansas from the summit, but it was a bit hazy, so hard to tell.

It's a parental sign!
Or rather my parents in front of the sign.
