Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway, Manitou Springs

U will never experience a better natural surrounding like this unique ride. It's a rolling history event once u leave the station. *tip-take a jacket cause there is a 25--30 degree differential at the top. Also, it's not a hour ride. It's a minimum 3 hr experience and worth every minute and dime. Boulders the size of a full size SUV. Talk about high with a different meaning.

I really wanted to love this. Everyone on the train was very kind. Everything looked very nice. However, despite the lovely views, it was pure torture for me. If I had gone alone, I genuinely would have gotten off the train before it even departed. The seats are practically child-sized and very uncomfortable. The seats face one another and leg room was clearly not taken into consideration. I'm about 5'5" and the woman across from me couldn't have been taller than 4'8". It was lucky we got along well because our legs were practically intertwined. On the way down, I found myself holding her small child because the incline had caused the little girl to slip and fall into my lap. The only reason I would ever consider taking this train again is if I became an actor and was studying for a role as a canned sardine. If you have any sort of disability, do yourself a favor and do not take this train. I was in pain the next day from the way I was forced to sit. I'm not just talking about physical disabilities either. If you have autism, a panic disorder, or a sensory processing disorder, you will not have a good time.
