MPP 25 has just departed the 14,115' summit of Pikes Peak while its passengers enjoy the view, totally unaware that a train nerd was waiting on the deck for them with camera in hand. The Manitou and Pike's Peak Railway is North America's highest railway...and that's in the literal sense and not in the "pot-is-legal-in-Colorado" sense!

I suppose you could also land a helicopter there if you're so inclined...the parking lot is certainly big enough! Not sure if anyone has ever parachuted onto the summit before...might have to look into that one.
