  • The Cog Rail is America's Highest Train and it is one of the most scenic train rides. The Cog Rail is located about 1hr 20minutes from Denver, Colorado and you should put this train and Pike's Peak on your travel bucket list.

    Took the train and loved it, we also drove up it with a brand new rental car and almost didn’t make it. The car didn’t want to keep running. We were out there because my husband and his business partner designed and built an electric race car and competed in the Pikes Peak race. Also rode bicycles from the top down, they don’t tell you about the two uphills on the way down and one is at 13,000 feet. That was fun trying to suck in enough air.

    In the journey from Oslo to Bergen
    you go over the high central plateau of Norway
    and there is snow on the ground
    all year round.
    We last traveled on that route
    in June / July and it was
    scorching in Oslo (30° C circa 85°F)
    and there was still snow on the ground
    at the highest point.

      Plus just after the highest point you can get off the main line and go on the Flåmsbana (the Flåm line) the steepest regular railway in Europe. What is amusing is seeing the tourists (sadly commonly American tourists) who turn up in Oslo in shorts and t-shirts because of the warm weather and shivering on the Myrdal Station as they wait for the branch line train.
