ALERT, ALL GPS USERS!! When trying to locate the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, we do not recommend using your GPS systems. We have been made aware that people are getting routed through narrow and winding residential streets when trying to get to the Cog using their GPS systems. The best way to locate the Cog Railway is to follow the signs on Highway 24 or to contact the Cog Railway for specific directions.
For 114 years, the Manitou and Pikes Peak Railway (the world's highest cog railroad, the highest Colorado railroad AND highest train in the United States) has taken passengers to the 14,115 foot summit of Pikes Peak. Just 77 miles from downtown Denver and 6 miles from downtown Colorado Springs, this classic Colorado train trip is open year-round.
