Kevin's Guidebook
Sightseeing
Pikes Peak is a 14,115 ft mountain with stunning views. A toll road takes you to the top (closed in winter). Built in 1915, this winding road is the perfect scenic drive, offering views of lakes, mountains, wildlife and the surrounding area. The Cog Railway, after completing an expansive restoration project, the Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway is back on track to usher in a whole new era of adventure on Pikes Peak-America’s Mountain. A renovated depot, new and rebuilt trains and miles of new tracks are poised to take Colorado adventurers on an age-old journey that has delighted visitors to the Pikes Peak region for 130 years. Barr Trail will take you to the top as well, 26 miles round trip. Barr Camp (about 5 - 8 hours roundtrip) is halfway up and a good way to be on Pikes Peak mountain for a hike, it has picnic tables and clean restrooms. Best to start this hike early. Between 5:00am - 7:00am if hiking to the top.

Closed to visitors and non DOD personnel due to COVID. An incredible military academy to visit. Beautiful grounds, a B-52 Bomber on display, a great visitor center and the iconic chapel which is the most visited man- made tourist attraction in Colorado. Great hiking trails. Eagle peak is my favorite, park at the visitor center and jump on the All Trails App to get guided to the trailhead.
