Sightseeing

Just a few minutes down the road from the Treehouse is the Pikes Peak Highway - the scenic road that takes you up to the top of America’s Mountain, above the tree line and over 14,000 feet above sea level. It’s a windy road with hairpin turns, but if this doesn’t bother you, you can’t miss it! You’ll drive past a beautiful reservoir, through Aspen groves, and the views from the top are spectacular. There is a welcome center at the top with food, snacks, famous donuts and souvenirs. Tips: There is a $15 per adult fee or $50 per car. Also, you’ll use about half a tank of gas driving up and down so make sure you’re full before heading that way! If you’re not used to the altitude, drink plenty of water and take it slow! If you’re weary of making the drive yourself, hop on the cog railway in Manitou Springs and it’ll take you to the top!

Food scene

Beautiful creek side dining and a great spot for dinner! We love the chicken pot pie, but there are lots of great options!
