Activity itinerary

Pikes Peak - America's Mountain

  • 15m
. This iconic road will take us up toward the summit of a 14,000-foot mountain that has captured Colorado’s imagination for decades. Along the way, we’ll have plenty of opportunities for great mountain views, as well as a couple of hiking trails for more advanced hikers. Note: The tour is over 18 miles long, with more than 29 audio stories, and takes about 1-2 hours to complete. New, Lifetime access, no expiry. Use it anytime, on any trip, as many times as you want.

Cascade

  • 10m
Travelers have been stopping at this spot since 1890! This observation site was once a stop along the cog railway line. We’ll get to the railway’s history a little later in the tour, but back in 1890 this ride allowed tourists to enjoy the view and adjust to the high altitude.

Crystal Creek Reservoir

  • 10m
That’s Crystal Creek Reservoir, supplying a reliable source of drinking water to all the residents of Colorado Springs. It’s not just mother nature though that helps supply all that water. Human innovation helps too.

North Catamount Reservoir

  • 10m
There are two other big reservoirs around here supplying water for folks in this region. The other two are the North Catamount and the South Catamount Reservoir.

Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway

  • 10m
The name is a bit misleading, as we’re not quite halfway up the mountain yet. There’s a small parking area if we want to stop here for a quick break.

Glen Cove - PPIHC

  • 10m
we’re halfway to the top of the peak! We know that ‘cos the Glen Cove Visitor Center is coming up soon. It’s been a key stop and halfway marker for travelers for decades.

Elk Park Trailhead (Pass by)

At just over 10 miles, this difficult trail can take several hours. But here’s a tip: You don’t have to hike the whole thing to get some great views of the north face of Pikes Peak.

Devil's Playground - PPIHC

  • 10m
There are no slides and swings here. Instead, this barren landscape is a place where lightning bolts hop and dance across the terrain during thunderstorms.

Bottomless Pit

  • 10m
Throw some rocks over the ledge and some claim they never make a sound. But scientists assure us that there is a bottom in the bottomless pit.

Barr Trail

  • 15m
One of the most popular walking trails remains to this day. It’s called the Barr Trail. The origins for it date back to the days of the gold rush, although it wasn’t the well-maintained trail that it is today.
