Train Ride down from Pike`s Peak - Colorado

Again, we were in the front seats, but this time the apprehension level increased greatly. The first dip over the side is quite exhilirating as you seem to be going over a precipice. Other than the fear level the scenery is the same, so if you missed something on the way up, then you had another chance to view.

Now, for an actual railway trip, the first view as you descend the peak, rates on the top of my list for excitement. What a thrill, to see hundreds of feet below with no apparent brakeage to stop your slide down the steep embankment.
