Somewhere between sun-up and sundown, there’s a Cog Railway adventure waiting for you.
The Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway offers flexible seasonal schedules ready to take adventurous guests on a unique journey year-round, rain or shine.
Springtime in the Rockies is when wildflowers begin to pop up and wildlife comes out of a long hibernation. Lingering snow has almost melted and days are long as the sun begins to warm the earth. We will be opening on May 20, 2021.

Longer days bring more opportunities to experience one of the prettiest mountain rides Colorado has to offer — The Pikes Peak Cog Railway. With daily operations from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and departures every 40 minutes until 5:20 p.m. throughout the season, you get to choose between early morning dew or golden-hour on America’s Mountain.
Fall is the time when days are the sunniest and the nights crisp and clear. The aspens begin to turn in late September through mid-October and are always a highlight.
Winter is the clearest time of year as the low humidity and snowfall decrease dust in the air. Although days are short, the bright sun can still be warm.
Each round trip aboard the Pikes Peak Cog Railway is approximately three breathtaking hours of sightseeing. Of course, you’ll need plenty of time to get situated, so we recommend arriving 30 minutes ahead of your departure and suggest stretching your experience to four hours to allow time to find that perfect souvenir at the gift shop.
Our Cog Railway is serviced by three new trains that can carry up to 263 passengers per trip and four refurbished railcars that carry 214 passengers each.
We also offer seasonally themed train rides where guests can be transported to a winter wonderland aboard Santa’s Train and more.
