I had not been since the upgrade. The elevated platform makes it super easy even for handy caped folks to get good views of the view.

Amazing view, clean, and friendly staff. Beware of altitude sickness

The food is overly expensive and is the cheapest quality. Wouldn't exchange a burger that had hair on it.

Amazing time and well worth the time and trip!!
Kenneth Lyon
First time and loved it

We tried driving up March 20th but could not get past the 13th mile due to snow
We took the train on the 21st and it was fine. Great views, a little movie, bathrooms, gift shop and a cafeteria
It was clean, comfortable and spacious with large viewing platforms
Dress warm!

Such a gorgeous and scenic overlook! We loved playing on the rocks and taking pictures. The donuts were a little dry, but it’s cool they can make them at such a high altitude.
The restrooms were very clean. The gift store wasn’t crazy expensive, but it was somewhat picked over (they were completely out of post cards and magnets).
We went on a Wednesday, and the summit was not too busy. Would recommend that you drive up if you’re able; the drive was just as beautiful as being on the summit.

WOW! This is one of the most underrated places to visit in all of America. The view is not just breathtaking, but the center itself has so many convenient amenities (clean bathrooms) and tasty donuts and water and needed snacks for being so high in altitude. Everyone there was so kind, and it was just so much fun. The glass windows were stunning, and perfect for the experience. Could not recommend this enough! Right around the summit house were these perfect trails that gave you the full view of Pikes Peak that everyone needs to see.

Great time at the summit. We took the railway and I will say. Very cold and harder to breathe but not terrible. But still worth it with breathtaking views anywhere you look.
no food for people who are allergic to dairy, eggs or are vegan.

Obviously incredible scenery but good god had no idea how much of a treck this was. If you don’t do well with heights do not go. The trip turned into an anxiety induced fear once your about 3000 ft from the top. Guard rails become scarce once you get higher and higher , so again if altitude or fear of heights is a potential factor … I just would not recommend going. Way down is much better and way more scenic.

Incredibly beautiful! My sister, my bro, and I drove to the summit and the experience was amazing! Given a chance to drive up here again, I’d definitely would - but probably not during winter as it was freezing up there. A memorable and unforgettable experience. I am literally running around like a small boy having a great time at 14,115 feet above sea level.
