The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is an incredible place. We saw, touched, learned about and enjoyed countless animals from all over the globe. Incredible views, amazing animals. I got a video of a Grizzly Bear trying to catch a fish underwater! Check out my pictures and videos. This is certainly one of the top zoos I have ever visited. (I would recommend taking the zoo shuttle for $2- My legs are still sore from all the walking up hill). We also found a few extra animals like a Fearow.
Times like these, you just have to wait. (and hope nothing else breaks)
The MIM is an amazing place. I just scratched the surface of its unbelievable exhibits. They have instruments and recordings from some of the most influential artists throughout history. They even have a room where you can play some instruments yourself. I saw an incredible collection of eclectic and innovative instruments from around the world. It includes a 2 ton dance organ called Apollonia from the 1920s that is played twice a day and John Lennon’s Piano used to compose Imagine. Here are just a few of the images I collected.
Amazing exhibits. They let you take pictures, so here are mine. enjoy.

Departing from Roaring Camp to the summit of Bear Mountain, this was one of the most amazing train rides I have been on. Certainly the most picturesque just beside Henry Cowell Redwood State Park.

The 9.25% grade didn’t seem so extreme when we rode it, however it did require the train to switch back and reverse direction in order to complete the journey. I got a real education from the Brakeman on how a steam locomotive operates. Enjoy my photographs.
