They were in the west part of the State, around Grand Junction and Telluride which is on the other side of the mountains from Denver. Not the easiest place to get to when you start looking into it. What's that train trip around Durango? Here we go: Official Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad Train

Will also just add driving up Pikes Peak was horrendous. Literally the worst/most boring experience of my life.
Will definitely take the train up there next time me and my wife head south to that neck of the woods.

I got up Pike's Peak but had to stop twice for vertigo there. At least I got up it.

Late to the party on this one!
US-36 out of Boulder, through Lyons and up to Estes Park is one of my favorite drives. We go up there quite often and I'm still not bored of the drive. Can be a bit lame if you get stuck behind an RV as there's only a couple of sections that split into two lanes (only for about half a mile each one) but so far that's my favorite drive here.

Mt. Evans is impressive at the top. I used to go up there to star gaze and watch and take pics of the sun rise .... very windy and f***ing cold at the top at 5 AM. Still, both are the easiest 14'ers to ascend!!
