The Pikes Peak Railway is a great way to see the mountains of Colorado and make it to the top of Pikes Peak! This railway runs multiple times throughout the day and is really laid back and enjoyable. Book your tickets online to save time at the ticket counter and take warm clothes! The top of Pikes Peak is much cooler than where you start.

Love this restaurant! It has a great bar and the food is spectacular. The menu changes regularly which adds to the dynamic of the food. Stick to the lounge side of the restaurant and avoid the fancier dining side to get better prices and atmosphere.
