Cascade

Travelers have been stopping at this spot since 1890! This observation site was once a stop along the cog railway line. We’ll get to the railway’s history a little later in the tour, but back in 1890 this ride allowed tourists to enjoy the view and adjust to the high altitude.

    It was interesting, but when each section started, the narrator would talk for 10 secs., it would stop and then restart. It did that for each section.

    Have someone else drive you! Admire the views as you go and make sure you dress warm. Take lots of pictures and make sure you watch the short movie in the look out center

    We purchased the ticket online to skip the wait at the visitor center, which saved a lot of time! The Pikes Peak Highway Driving Tour was exactly what we needed—just an audio guide, so we could enjoy the drive at our own pace without any pressure. The views were incredible, and the tour provided great information about the area. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting a relaxed and informative experience!

  • The ticket price included...

    The ticket price included a car load of friends for admission into the park for $16.99. At the entrance to Pikes Peak we were required to pay again, they had never heard of Viator. We paid $34.00 to enter the park. I’ve requested a refund hopefully it will be honored.

  • Not tickets to the place you are visiting.

    I thought this was tickets. It wasn’t. I got to the booth, and they are like, you need to buy. You need to really put boldly, this won’t get you in the park. I guess a few others had the same experience. Basically I wasted $16.99, and got nothing.

    The tour guide was excellent! We had a tight schedule due to an early flight, but the guide ensured we made the most of our limited time. It expertly guided us to the most popular sites, and we were thoroughly impressed. Despite the time constraint, the tour guide didn't disappoint us.
