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!

Our tour guide Jerry was the best as he shared details along the way and was very friendly. My only regret was the positioning of our seats on the Cog train for the ride up to Pikes Peak. The train was not full and it had many open window seats but our tour group was crammed into the back of the train and my Uncle and I had the most center seats of the car and could not enjoy the views. Most of the areas pointed out by the Conductor was to be seen by looking down out of a window. This was a big let down as there wasn't any reason to be seated in that manner with so many seats still open.

Sarah was amazinggggg. We came with zero expectations and we not only loved the views but her way of introducing us to this experience.

It was a good trip where you can go top of the mountain by a scenic train. We had a wonderful experience at both places ( Garden of Gods and Pikes Peak ) . our tour guide was very friendly and helpful.
