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!

My wife and I booked this trip to get yo see pikes peak and the garden of the gods. It was a fun trip with guide Christian. The Cog Railway out of Manitou Springs was clean and delightful. The trip through mountaine forest and above the treeline was fun. Views from the summit were spectacular. We were glad we went.

Christian was extremely accommodating and very informative. Traveling alone is always a little scary but Christian went above and beyond to ensure safety, each of us remained hydrated, group count was correct and also that each of us achieved the best experience possible! Also the pastries were a huge hit!

great way to see sights in a day. Garden of the Gods is beautiful and the train ride to Pike's Peak is amazing - be sure to dress warm as it is cold. Christian, our tour guide, was so attentive to everyone and had a nice way of bringing the group together. very enjoyable day trip - would highly recommend, esp with Christian.
