Towering 14,110 feet above Colorado Springs, this mountain serves as one of the nation's most famous landmarks. Access to the summit can be obtained via the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, or by driving the Pikes Peak Highway which winds through stands of pine and aspen before cresting above treeline. Katherine Lee Bates was so moved by her visit to the summit that it inspired her to pen "America the Beautiful." Bring a jacket as the temperature is about 20 degrees cooler up top.

  • Great view.
  • Cold on railway if windows are open.

“Most favorite place in Colorado so far. I enjoyed the ride on the railway up to the mountains. A sight to see. It was more than what I expected. Have to see for yourself.”

  • "Breathtaking!
  • None.

“Wow! The drive is slow going but since we stopped at each over look it would have been slow anyway. Worth the $5 for the CD to listen to Narrative on the drive. And if you don't like to drive this type of road, you can take the cog railway. The views from the top are breathtaking.”

“Outstanding getaway hike. Rode the cog rail up and then hiked back down using Barr trail. Some of the most beautiful scenery and picture opportunities. If you have time, spend the night at Barr camp which is about half way up the mountain and has cabin as well as tent facilities. A trip to Colorado springs is incomplete without seeing this. Great 13 mile hike one-way.”
