• Pikes Peak - America’s Mountain - This legendary road leads to the summit of a 14,000-foot mountain that has inspired Colorado for generations. Along the journey, there are numerous opportunities to enjoy stunning mountain vistas and a few hiking trails for seasoned hikers.

Note: The tour spans over 18 miles, includes more than 29 audio stories, and typically takes 1-2 hours to complete.

• Cascade - Since 1890, travelers have been pausing at this location!

This observation point was once a stop on the cog railway line. The railway’s history will be explored later in the tour, but in 1890, this ride allowed tourists to appreciate the view and acclimate to the high altitude.

• Crystal Creek Reservoir - This is Crystal Creek Reservoir, providing a dependable source of drinking water to the residents of Colorado Springs. It’s not just nature that supplies this water; human innovation plays a role too.

• North Catamount Reservoir - There are two other significant reservoirs in this area supplying water to the local community. These are the North Catamount and the South Catamount Reservoirs.

• Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway - The name might be a bit misleading, as the journey is not quite halfway up the mountain yet. There is a small parking area available for a quick stop.

• Glen Cove Visitor Center - We are halfway to the peak! This is evident as the Glen Cove Visitor Center is approaching. It has been a crucial stop and halfway marker for travelers for many years.

• Devil’s Playground - PPIHC - There are no playgrounds here. Instead, this stark landscape is where lightning bolts leap and dance across the terrain during thunderstorms.

• Bottomless Pit - Toss some rocks over the edge, and some say they never make a sound. However, scientists assure us that there is indeed a bottom in the bottomless pit.

• Barr Trail - This remains one of the most popular walking trails today. Known as the Barr Trail, its origins trace back to the gold rush era, although it wasn’t as well-maintained as it is now.
