ʻO kēia pū kahenahu e lawe iāʻoe i luna o kahi heʻumikumamāhā
Hiki i kēia mino liʻiliʻi a ke hana nei.
ʻO ka makahiki 2016 ua hōʻailonaʻia ka 125th anniversary o kekahi o nā kaʻa kaʻa nui kaulana a Colorado. I ka Late o Iune 1891, ua haʻalele muaʻo Pikes Peak Cog Railway, aʻaʻole i hoʻomakaʻia e hōhonu mai ka wā mai. He kiʻi nui mākaʻikaʻi no nāʻohana, nā moʻolelo o ka moʻolelo a me nā poʻe eʻimi ana i kahi hoʻokipa, kahi wale nō i loko o Colorado.
Aia kēia ala kaʻa i kokoke i Colorado Springs ma ka liʻiliʻi, mauna mauna o Manitou Springs.
Piʻiʻo ia i ka mauna a hiki i ka piko o Pike Peak, kekahi o nā "fourteeners" kaulana o Colorado, aiʻole nā mauna iʻoi aku ma mua o 14,000 kapuaʻi ma mua aʻe o ke kai.
Wahi kekahi i ka Pikes Peak "Amerika Mountain."
ʻO keʻano o kēia mea no ka poʻe hele ke hikiʻoe ke piʻi i luna o kahiʻehā me kaʻole e uha i ka wela. Hiki i ke kālepaʻana iā lākou ke hana nui loa,ʻoiai me ka loaʻaʻana o ka piʻi kiʻekiʻe.
ʻO ka huakaʻi huakaʻi hele ma kahi o ka Ruxton Creek, Englemann Canyon, nā pōhaku nui, ka Mō'ī Almagre a me ke kahawaiʻo Minnehaha. Eʻikeʻoe i kekahi o nā mea ola loa ma luna o ka honua, 2,000 mau makahiki bristlecone pine pine.
Eʻike i ke alanui kaʻa
I ke kauwela, hiki i nā Pikes Peak Cog Railway nā mea e holo ai ma kahi o ka 3 ½-hola a hiki i ke kuahiwi no nā hiʻohiʻona paleʻana o nā'ōpona'ōmaʻomaʻo a me nā lāʻau pine a me kēlā mau aniani uliuli eʻikeʻia aiʻo Colorado. Hiki paha i nā mea pāʻani keʻike iki i ka marmot, ka dia moa, aiʻole nā hipa hānai ma ke ala.
ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻo kēia wahi kahi home o kekahi o ka nui nui o nā mea nui i ka moku'āina. Inā maopopo ka lewa, hiki i nā mea pāʻoiho keʻike i ka laina nui o Denver ma kahi lōʻihi.
I ka hāʻuleʻana, he ala punahele ke kaʻa eʻike ai i ka lauʻana o nā lau. Ke piʻiʻoe i luna i kahi kiʻekiʻe, ua loli nā lau i nā manawa likeʻole o ke kau,ʻo ia hoʻi, he holo hoʻokahi wale nō e like me ka heleʻana i loko o ke ānuenue.
A i ke kau hoʻoilo, hoʻololi ka traina i Santa Train, no kaʻoluʻolu a me kaʻoluʻolu o ke ala e hoʻonani ai i ka wā - me ka hauʻoli i luna o ka moku. ʻO kaʻike o nā kuahiwi i uhiʻia i loko o kahi pāpale paʻakipī o ka hau e hōʻike ana i ka Mele Kalikimaka.
Ka Moʻaukala o ka Train
Ma hope o nā makahiki 1800, ua noʻonoʻo kēia'enela uila no kona hikiʻana i ka piʻiʻana i kēia mau kiʻekiʻe a ma kēiaʻanuʻu o kahi'ākau, me kahi pūnaewele "cog" kūikawā.
Hoʻohanaʻia nā kālepa maʻamau i ka pa'ē o nā huila ma luna o nā alala e hoʻokuʻu ai i nā kaʻa ma mua,ʻo ia wale nō ke mālamaʻana i nā kāneli a hiki i ka 6 pakeneka (aiʻole ka wikiwiki wikiwiki i 9 pakeneka). Akā,ʻo ka huila cog, a me ke kāʻei, keʻano o ke kālepa, hiki ke mālama i nā kānalua kūlana a hiki i ka 48 pakeneka - he mea e pono ai ke kamaʻilioʻoe e pili ana i ka paleʻana i kaʻaoʻao o kahi heʻumikumamāhā.
ʻO kaʻoihana kūʻai: E hoʻolālā nā moku Trag i ka māmā nui - he 9 mau mile no ka hola no ke kaʻa kaʻa Pikes Peak. Hoʻolālāʻia ka holo e like me ke piʻi paʻa, akā hāʻawi pū i nā mea i ka manawa e hoʻolālā i kēlā pana kūpono.
I kēia lā, hoʻokahi wale nōʻenekini puhi kaʻa e hana ana i ka hukiʻana i kahi kaʻa hou i hōʻea houʻia i kaʻeiwa mau mile ka piʻiʻana o ka mauna.
Nā kōkua kōkua
Ma muli o ka kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe, hiki i kekahi poʻe huakaʻi ke manaʻo i ka maʻi nui. Eia kekahi mau'ōlelo aʻo pehea e hoʻomākaukau ai ae mālama i ka maʻi kiʻekiʻe ma Colorado .
E hoʻomākaukau i kahi meaʻai a me mea inu eʻai ai ma ka piko no ka mea hiki ke lōʻihi ka laina no ka loaʻaʻana o ka meaʻai ma ka Hui Summit, a ua hoʻolimalima waleʻiaʻoe no ka hapalua hora ma luna, no ka hopena o ka piʻi.
Mai hōʻalo i kaʻaoʻao'ākau o ka piko. Ma kahi e loaʻa iāʻoe nā kiʻi maikaʻi loa, a ma kahi e piʻi ai ke kiʻekiʻe i ka home. E makaʻala i ka Pitster Pit, he mea kupaianaha, akā,ʻo ka pali kaha paʻakikī.
ʻO ka hana maikaʻi
ʻO kekahi ala eʻike ai i ka mauna - a hana i ka wela nui - aia ma ka Manitou Incline. ʻO kahi laina hao ma ka piko o ka mauna Manitou i hoʻohanaʻia i ka hoʻolakoʻana i nā kahawai wai i ka makahiki 1990 a ua liloʻo ia ma keʻano he helehelena hilinaʻi kaulana a me ka holoʻana no nā poʻe'aloʻale paʻakikī. Ke'ōlelo nei mākou he 2,000 kapuaʻi ka nui o ka waiwai i loaʻa ma lalo o hoʻokahi mile. ʻAʻole hiki i ka Newbies ke hana, akā inā makemakeʻoe i kahi pilikia (a ua makaukauʻoe, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe a kūpono), e hoʻoholo i kēia pū.
Aia kahi lima o nā ala likeʻole e lawe ai, ma muli o kou hiki a me ka nāwaliwali. E koho i kahi alahele palapala'āina ma kahi papa'āina aiʻole Incline Base Camp e hoʻolālā i kāu papahana. E noi hou aku i nā pūʻali no nā'ōlelo aʻo. Hiki iā lākou ke hōʻike iāʻoe no ka palekana o nā alahele, e pili ana i nā holoholona, ka lepo, a me nāʻano'ē aʻe paha o ke ala e hele ai.
Hiki iāʻoe ke lawe i ke kaʻaahi i luna a hoʻolimalima i ke kaʻa e holo ai ma ke alaloa. Paʻi Paʻi a me nā Pikes Peak Mountain Bike Tours hiki iā lākou ke hoʻokiʻekiʻe iāʻoe.
He wahi kaulanaʻo Colorado Springs no ka hololio a kapaʻiaʻo ia kekahi o nā kūlanakauhale nui 10 e hoʻoholo ai i ka'āina.
Ināʻoe eʻike i ka Pikes Peak ma ka helekī, ka wāwae, a ke kaʻa paha, pono ia e hana ma Colorado.
