Drive or take the cog railroad. If you're ambitious it can be hiked in a single day. Get an early start and dress prepared for weather changes. Pikes Peak highway is reached via US-24 west to the town of Cascade. Just follow the signs. Cog railroad is accessed in Manitou Springs. There is a small restaurant and souvenier shop at the summit.

Getting around on bikes and scooters

Use the PIKERIDE APP to find electric bikes to rent! They are available all around our neighborhood. The APP will locate the closest ones, usually at the hospital. For scooter rental, use the LIME APP to locate scooters nearby. They are also usually plentiful and nearby. All are easy to use and make for a quick trip downtown-take Cascade (a block and a half West of our house) and use the bike lanes for quick and safe fun!
