Looking down at the Cog Rail train area. I can't imagine there's much demand to ride up to Pikes Peak in December. By the way, there's a free bus that gives tourists rides up to here (the Incline) which leaves from downtown Manitou. Had I known about that, it would have saved me from walking up the steep road to get to the incline. But, I got a better workout as a result of not knowing about the free bus... ;-)
