Pikes Peak Cog Railway

Scenic Train Rides to the Summit

The Colorado train known as "Pikes Peak Cog Railway" is a scenic passenger train with a very unique destination, the summit of Pikes Peak Mountain. Just in front of the Summit House & Gift Shop is the final destination for this fabulous ride.




While the ride via the Cog Railway may not be the most comfortable it does offer a very unique look at this famous mountain. We highly suggest if you have the time to drive Pikes Peak Highway and Ride the Cog.

Time to Allot: 3 1/2 Hours

Rates: $33.00 per Adult / $18 Ages 3-12

Train Hours: 9:20 a.m. & 1:20 p.m. (verify hours when making reservations)

Pet Friendly: No

Additional Information:

No outside food is allowed on the Pikes Peak Cog Railway and your time will be limited at the Summit. With extremely long lines and a crowded gift shop you may have just enough time to grab one of those Pikes Peak Summit Donuts.

You can purchase a box lunch at the Cog Wheel Cafe that can be taking aboard the train. If you plan to go the route of the box lunch it generally includes a sandwich or burger, chips or fries and a drink. The box lunches can be quite expense. If your saving pennies for souvenirs it's probably a good idea to grab a bite to eat while in Manitou Springs.

More Scenic Train Rides in Colorado
One of the things I truly love about Colorado is the number of scenic passenger trains still running to this day. The state has a wonderful Gold and Silver Mining history. These trains tell the stories best!

Make sure you have plenty of film for your day at Pikes Peak. During our most recent trip to Pikes Peak in 2009, we left with around 500 photos.

Manitou Springs Colorado
With the train ride only about 3-3 1/2 hours, you'll hopefully plan to spend a little time in the charming small town of Manitou Springs.
