Drive or take the Cog Railway up PIkes Peak. Recommend doing this after you have acclimated to the altitude of Colorado Springs. Stay hydrated and bring layers!

Pikes Peak is one of the most beautiful landmarks in Colorado. The views from the summit inspired the words "America the Beautiful" Whether traveling by car on the Pikes Peak Highway, by train on the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, or by foot on the Barr Trail, more than a half-million people reach the summit every year. With an altitude of 14,115 feet above sea level, Pikes Peak forms a magnificent visual backdrop for Colorado Springs, Woodland Park, Fort Carson, the U.S. Air Force Academy, Garden of the Gods, Cripple Creek, and many other regional cities and attractions.

Just a few minutes down the road from the Treehouse is the Pikes Peak Highway - the scenic road that takes you up to the top of America’s Mountain, above the tree line and over 14,000 feet above sea level. It’s a windy road with hairpin turns, but if this doesn’t bother you, you can’t miss it! You’ll drive past a beautiful reservoir, through Aspen groves, and the views from the top are spectacular. There is a welcome center at the top with food, snacks, famous donuts and souvenirs. Tips: There is a $15 per adult fee or $50 per car. Also, you’ll use about half a tank of gas driving up and down so make sure you’re full before heading that way! If you’re not used to the altitude, drink plenty of water and take it slow! If you’re weary of making the drive yourself, hop on the cog railway in Manitou Springs and it’ll take you to the top!
