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!

Hi Kandy, thank you so much for sharing your experience. You were one of the first one to enjoy our newly launched tour. It allows people to go above 14 000 feet year around. Pretty cool. And this trip is a great complement to our other year around experiences we offer. Until next time!
