Once at the top, guests enjoy the new fully accessible, environmentally sustainable, $60 million-plus Pikes Peak Visitor Center. Guests start and end their journey at the new Manitou Depot, featuring an expansive passenger platform, viewing deck for photographs and two retail stores with snacks and beverages.

They say every journey begins with a single step. Replacing pickaxes and mules with modern technology while maintaining the same grit and determination, just over thirty skilled men and women (yes, only 30!) worked tirelessly to complete this effort. They spread ballast, laid ties and track rails to complete the route covering just under 8,000 vertical feet and nine miles to the summit of “America’s Mountain.” The Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway underwent a $100 million renovation. In 2018, the work began to replicate that feat and reconstruct the top tourist attraction in Colorado.

Originally built in 1891 and owned and operated by The Broadmoor since 1925, this historic railway is the highest railroad in America and the highest cog railway in the world. A rebuilt track, as well as new trains, depot and Summit Visitor Center, allows you to enjoy one of the world’s most unique experiences once again in grand style.

The Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway is the most relaxing way to climb “America’s Mountain” and is re-opening in May 2021. By The Broadmoor Discover The Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway By The Broadmoor
