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

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.

Schedule TBD.

WINTER

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.

Schedule TBD

THE JOURNEY

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.
