Itinerary

1. Pikes Peak - America's Mountain

. 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.

Duration: 15 mins

2. Cascade

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.

Duration: 10 mins

3. Crystal Creek Reservoir

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.

Duration: 10 mins

4. North Catamount Reservoir

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.

Duration: 10 mins

5. Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway

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.

Duration: 10 mins

6. Glen Cove - PPIHC

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.

Duration: 10 mins

7. Elk Park Trailhead

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.

8. Devil's Playground - PPIHC

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.

Duration: 10 mins

9. Bottomless Pit

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.

Duration: 10 mins

10. Barr Trail

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.

Duration: 15 mins
