Thanks so much for the kind words on our Mt. Elbert video! 🌄 For your hike, if you're looking to avoid the North trailhead, here's a set of directions from Leadville to get you to the Black Cloud trailhead: 1. Travel south on US Hwy. 24 for about 15 miles. 2. At the junction of CO Hwy. 82, turn west towards Independence Pass and continue for around 10 miles. 3. Keep an eye out just west of the Twin Peaks Campground for a small Black Cloud sign. The trail you'll want climbs north, following the Black Cloud Creek. I believe we used AllTrails to help us find the trail. It's a beautiful route, especially in the fall. Have an amazing hike and enjoy the stunning views! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

@@Learningtotravel thanks for the info! God Bless! ☺️

Hey thank you for watching! I hope we did Creede justice.

🤔

It's like going to IKEA but the food is worse. 😆

Thanks so much for the comment! That does sound like a fun place to work.

There just too many great places in Colorado. The list never ends! (not a bad thing)

Thanks! We are glad you liked the video! We did do both tours in one day. We started with the duck tour in the morning, had lunch, and then did the river cruise. The duck tour is about an hour. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks so much for replying so fast ❤

You're welcome! Thanks for watching. Have fun in Creede!

We do too!

A cute tripod kitty no less! Creede is pretty special.

Yes! The Heber Creeper!

Hey there! Great questions! Let’s break it down: Ticket Prices: The price for a ride on the Pike's Peak Cog Railway can vary depending on the time of year and age of the passenger. Generally, adult tickets range from $59.50 to $72, while children's tickets (12 and under) are typically around $49.50 to $62. It's always a good idea to check their official website for the most up-to-date pricing. (www.cograilway.com/ride/rates) Location of the Station: The station is located in Manitou Springs, Colorado. The address is 515 Ruxton Ave, Manitou Springs, CO 80829. It’s a charming little town that’s worth exploring before or after your train ride! Duration of the Train Ride: The trip to the summit of Pikes Peak takes about 1 hour. So, you'll be sitting on the train for a bit over an hour each way. Time at the Summit: Once you reach the summit, you'll have 40 minutes to enjoy the breathtaking views, take some photos, and maybe grab a snack or a famous Pikes Peak donut from the summit house. The train will not wait for you if you are late to return for the ride back down. I hope this helps! Enjoy your adventure on the Cog Railway - it’s truly an unforgettable experience!

It would be perfect for van life. No shortage of free overnight parking in and around Creede.

It is a unique capitol building for sure. Steve might appreciate the Phil Jackson portrait that can be found in the capitol because Jackson was honored with a Theodore Roosevelt Rough Rider Award. His portrait hangs in the Rough Rider Hall of Fame, on the lower level of the Capitol building.

It really is a unique mountain town and worth checking out, we hope to get back that way soon. Thanks for watching Holly! And we appreciate the comment.

It may look man-made, but it is not. You can learn more about the tracks here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purgatoire_River_track_site

It is all natural limestone.

Indeed! Adorable even.

@@Learningtotravel OK, maybe they didn’t have all the stairs up there part of it was steps but towards the top it was just a trail my brother and I did it twice when I was in my teenage youth. It’s just a shame I hadn’t done it more now that I’m getting much much older than I ever thought. Hiking in Colorado has always been a love and a passion of mine. I actually hiked from Montana to Colorado Springs, Colorado by myself and it took me all summer. I stayed with my family friends, that owned the Eagles Motel. Until my father came to pick me up and I was only 15 years old.

Honestly that is difficult to answer. When we last did that hike it was still relatively dark for us in that part of the trail. And we were just focused on the trail. But we both remember a wooded area that probably would have areas for camping. AllTrails is probably correct but we can not confirm 100%. Sorry we can not be more helpful but we don't want to mislead you. Enjoy your hike and that sounds like a good plan as it is a pretty long trail.

You get about 40 minutes at the top and the train does depart on time, not waiting for anyone who is even a few seconds late as we witnessed on our trip.

Thank you so much! We’re really looking forward to our trip!

You're welcome. We know you are going to have such a great trip!

What is also amazing is that they would flood the Colosseum and have mock naval battles called Naumachia. There are so many fascinating aspects of the Colosseum and ancient Rome. Thanks for the comment!

It seems historians can not agree on how many people it could hold. Some believe it was over 80,000. 🤷 That is cool that your parents took you there, it really is special to see it in person and image what went on there and how many people have visited that site through the ages.

It really is a beautiful place, like most of Colorado. 🙂 Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for the tips! We’ll definitely need to check out Ogallala and Scottsbluff next time we're in Nebraska. We do live pretty close so I know we will be back at some point. The lake, sandhills, and a hot air balloon festival sound amazing! Appreciate you sharing these suggestions with us.

Wow, that’s impressive! Your grandson must be quite the little adventurer! The views from the Incline are definitely worth the effort. Thanks for sharing your story with us!

Couldn't agree more! The combination of the Great Sand Dunes and the Sangre De Cristo Mountains is truly awe-inspiring. There's something almost magical about that place. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

Absolutely, those pioneers were incredibly tough and resilient! It’s amazing to think about the challenges they faced. We're so glad you enjoyed the video and the beautiful scenery. Thanks for finding us and for your kind words!

You're welcome. Thanks for watching. 🙂

From Denver's airport? About 4 1/2 hours.

🙃

Oh no, that must have been tough for your friend! The Manitou Incline can definitely be a challenge, but it's so rewarding once you reach the top. We hope your next adventure is filled with more laughs and fewer tears.

Yep, very similar.

Thanks 😊

Thanks! Makes us happy you enjoyed the video. Enjoy your Colorado travels!

If memory serves, it is more open than shaded. Have fun!

The Incline would make for some good PT! That view at the top is so worth it! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! Fly - Fight - Win!

Absolutely, the incline is definitely a challenge! Taking it at your own pace is key. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Nah it's easy run up

We can understand that. Hopefully our little video was an anxiety free watch for you. 🙂

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you found the video informative. The Denver to Glenwood Springs route is one of our favorites, and we're glad you enjoyed it as much as we did. If you have any questions or need more info about the trip, feel free to ask. Enjoy your travels!

Mmmmmm... bacon 🥓🤤

Thank you! We appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment.

Indeed! Thanks for watching. 🫶

Peeping those leaves was amazing. 👀🚂🍁

🙂🙂🙂

That must of been interesting to see! I have no doubts that it was very loud. When I was in the Army I operated a much smaller missile system (T.O.W.) and there were very loud even though the missile was small enough to be launched from a humvee. Thanks for the comment!!

That IS exciting!! We'll have to check it out once it is done.

You're welcome, we are glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!!
