Pikes Peak COG Railway & Garden of Gods Tour

Overview
The Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak are two of the most famous attractions in Colorado, and we’ve packed them into a single tour. You get to explore the giant red rock formations in this National Natural Landmark during your picnic lunch before you ride the Cog Railway to the highest summit in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains at 14,115 feet.

Be prepared for communal, conversational seating (meaning opposing rows face each other, typical of train travel). For taller guests, that means you may be knocking knees a bit. To ride comfortably, we recommend that you strategically sit across from a short person. You're certainly not required to chat with the people across from you, even if you came together. But who knows! You might make a friend and have some laughs or a fun "small world" moment. We love those!

Jerry S is a great guide. Explained and described the sites in detail. Other than he is a nice person. For your consideration the lunch part of the trip could have been a little more smooth. I know the depot is small and it was full of people I would have preferred to seat at a park or plaza nearby have lunch and then go to the train depot. It was a beautiful tour. We appreciate it.

Jerry was a great guide! I learned alot about the area during the drive to Manitou Springs. We wished we would have had more time in the Garden of the Gods but the railway ride to the summit of Pikes Peak was spectacular!
