it's part of this old cog railroad...the one downside is that like 75% of it goes through private property (the cog railroad company) but they don't enforce the no trespassing sign....or maintain it..parts of it were pretty rough. There is a trail that runs next to it (and goes to the summit of pike's peak) but it doesn't have that view

Before he passed away my grandfather lived near there. When I was there some 20 odd years ago we did the big family trip up to the top of Pike's Peak and doing a lot of hiking in the Garden of the Gods park.
Back in his younger days my grandfather had participated in the Race to the Clouds
