Broadmoor Pikes Peak Cog Railway is a wildly popular tourist attraction in Colorado Springs. The railway has been in operation since the summer of 1891, transporting visitors to the summit of Pikes Peak, at an astounding 14,115 feet above sea level. Families have enjoyed this scenic journey for generations, seated comfortably on the planet’s highest cog train.
Throughout the journey, passengers will encounter four distinctive habitats ranging from lush high plains to fragile alpine tundra. Dense pine forests and pristine aspen groves give way to enchanting mountain streams and sweeping boulder canyons as passengers climb beyond the timberline. The train ride is truly an awesome adventure, and one that can be enjoyed at all ages.
