Thank you for posting this, I can't go up due to altitude sickness at the base, barely got past 7k before getting sick :/ So its nice to have this opportunity through your lens to see things!!!

Great video! Your advice on the 3-seat vs 2-seat while reservation was invaluable. Thanks a ton for that. Cheers!

Beautiful! Thank you for takingus along on the ride:)

When I got to the top of pikes peak my blood oxygen level went from 97% down to 88% and we felt light headed and it feels like your moving in slow motion. One employee said that it took him a month to get used to the elevation.

When I was a truck driver, I drove a Freightliner bobtail up to the peak some 20 years ago - when I was young and adventurous ha ha. It's 40 to 50 degrees colder at the peak and a lot less oxygen, bring a coat and winter hat is a good idea if you want to spend some time outside at the peak. I did it once and it was awesome, but no one told me you can hardly breath at that elevation.

I have been there that was 1997 or 98 . I loved it they shure did make a lot of changes the visitors center is a lot bigger now and the outside is bigger to I would love to go see it again . Great video thank you for sharing have a nice day

Best donuts in the world at the top of Pikes Peak. Of course I hiked it, so I was hungry, still, they're really good.

We drove it 10 years ago when we were attending a military conference at Peterson AFB, and when we got to the top and were looking down at Colorado Springs (which sits about 7900 feet ASL) it was a surreal moment considering we were stationed at Scott AFB in Illinois that sits in the highest point in the county (861 feet ASL) mind-boggling for us "flat-landers". A pilot in our group said if we were on an airplane at 14K and lost cabin pressure the oxygen masks would deploy. Kind of put things into perspective.

thanks for the video, great job on the editing

32 degree on the top, that is amazing

Thanks for a wonderful video! We’re going in August and I’m not a fan of heights but because it’s enclosed I should be able to handle it.

The Pikes Peak Cog Railway had first started back way into 1890 where it opened. And was ran by six Cog Railway steam locomotives. Today four of them survived in preservation today. Locomotive #1 is display at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Colorado, Locomotive #2 is displayed at a park in Manitou Springs, Colorado, Locomotive #4 displayed at the Grand Canyon Railway in Williams, Arizona (It used to operate at the Pikes Peak Cog Railway as a heritage railroad), and Locomotive #5 is displayed at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The railroad also has gas power, snowplowing, and Diesel Rail Cars that were built between the mid and late 20th Century. Now they use these new Diesel Electric locomotives that were built by Stadler Rail in 2021 at the country of Switzerland for this mountain railroad.

We’re going in a few weeks can’t wait hope my Husband reserved the 3 seat side 😂 guess we wooo find out I can’t wait to see the scenery and eat the doughnuts 🍩

Thanks

THANK YOU for sharing this. Ive been to Colorado Springs once, but I was not able to do Pikes Peak. I have a heart issue and thin air isn't good for me.

Love your Colorado videos!

Fun video! really nice filming.

Hermosos paisajes 🤩

My opinion after just coming back. Drive up to mile 13 then come back down. That is the most beautiful views you’ll see the entire way. After Mike 13 it is dead and also DEATHLY TERRIFYING TO DRIVE. I drove up to mile 16 then took a bus the rest of the ways up. But wouldn’t do it again. I’d drive to Mike 13 then drive back down. Up to mile 13 it the best part. Plenty of areas to stop. A gift shop at mioe 13 and an area to walk around there. After Mike 13 it’s terrifying.

Great advice and great video! What kind of camera are you using? It's so clear and that zoom, wow!

Awesome views. Subscribed.

Paid $75 for a reserve ticket on the 2 seat side but the 3 seat side has the better views. I thought the price was too high but the only alternative is to drive to the top and I’m sure the drive back down would do some damage to your brakes.

👍🙂 new subscriber.

wow it sure has changed, when I rode it, the cars were open, and you smelled diesel all the way to the top.

Curious. How sketchy is the ride? I want to give my kids this experience but nervous. They will be fine its me I am worried about. this is the best video so far. If I sat away from the window closer to the middle I should be fine? I will just close my eyes lol

Thanks for the tip the better view are on the side with the 3 seats, just curious when you're headed back, if the side with the two seats will then see the better view then?

Very illuminating video ! Thanks. How long do they let you stay on the top before return ? I heard come back at 10 but no more.

🖤

Hi, Great video! Very informative...How much time do you have on Pikes Peak before returning to the Cog Railway?

When was this? I think I was doing a training run up there when they got that snow…. Haha granted it could have been a different snow storm 😂

Thanks for sharing. How long is the ride to the summit?

Have you driven it ? Which has better views ? Cog or driving ? I know driving is ALOT cheaper

Great video, is there parking around there?

That kid on his phone SMH.

Fortunately I rode the real Cog engine to the top

OMG.. does that guy talking ever stop ? That’s be so annoying to me. I just want peace and to be able to look at the views.

If I ride this train, I hope there is a different narrator
