Pikes Peak Cog Railway 5 Star


Pikes Peak Cog Railway

The Pikes Peak Cog Railway is 8.9 miles long. The round trip Cog train climbing Pikes Peak-from Pilot's Knob lasts 3 hours and 10 minutes.

The first third of our trip is along Ruxton Creek in Englemann Canyon. Here the steep track follows a cascading stream through dense stands of Englemann spruce, Colorado blue spruce as well as Ponderosa pine trees.

The track is built next to the stream and there are boulder fields on both sides of the train. Conductors like to point out the various "faces" and shapes which, with a bit of imagination, can be seen in the giant boulders. Right near the Minnehaha switch (where the down coming trains pass the up going train on many trips) is Minnehaha Falls.
