An Elevated Experience

WHETHER IT’S THE CHANGING SEASONS, THE DIVERSITY OF wildlife spotted along the way, or the ever-changing views along the route, a new experience awaits each time guests board The Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway. A recently completed $100 million–plus renovation of the historic railway adds new possibilities, next to a combination of new and refurbished trains, a wholly renovated depot, and the City of Colorado Springs’ new Pikes Peak Summit House Complex (where world-famous donuts and hot cocoa are available for purchase).

And now there are even more options to enjoy the experience. Sit next to the engineer and enjoy a front-row view as you learn more about America’s Mountain, or take the train to the top and then mount specially outfitted bikes as guides lead your group on a thrilling two-wheeled ride down the mountain. You can even book a private train for your entire wedding party as a fun excursion. The sky is the limit. For tickets and information, visit CogRailway.com

The Details

Scan the Code for Cog Railway Tickets, Schedules, and More Information

The Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway departs from Manitou Depot and operates year-round, weather permitting. Arriving thirty minutes before your scheduled departure is recommended, as are advance e-ticket purchases. The round trip is about three hours—one hour up, forty minutes at the summit, and one hour and ten minutes back down to the depot.

For those who enjoy rail travel, spectacular scenery, and the thrill of mountain climbing without all the work, this is the trip to take.”
