This full-day tour lasts about nine hours and combines two well-known Colorado landmarks. The trip begins with a meeting at Denver Union Station, where guests check in before heading to Garden of the Gods Park. Here, visitors can spend around an hour walking among the large red rock formations and enjoy a picnic lunch included in the tour. After lunch, there is an optional 30-minute stop in the town of Manitou Springs, offering time to browse shops or get a snack. The main highlight is the 3-hour ride on the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, which climbs to the summit at 14,115 feet, the highest point in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Seating on the train is communal with facing rows, so guests may be seated close to one another. The trip ends with a return to Denver Union Station. Water refills are allowed if guests bring a reusable bottle. Pickup is provided from Union Station in downtown Denver. Gratuities are not included in the tour price.
