The first siding on the climb from Manitou Springs to the top of Pikes Peak is Minnehaha. We are roughly two miles from the depot and have come up 1,800 feet, and are now at 8,330 feet (2,540 meters) above sea level. We are meeting a downhill train, as well as the plow. At this time of year, the plow makes daily runs to the peak.
