Pikes Peak is a top tourist attraction in Colorado. The new cog train has reopened for spectacular views. Every year more than 600,000 people visit the Pikes Peak Summit House, a National Historic Landmark. World famous doughnuts have been served on the summit for more than a century. Bakers use a very specific, top secret high-altitude formula to overcome the challenges of creating a cake doughnut above 14,000 feet. Remember to bring water and drink often as the air is thin up this high.

The North Pole is FUN for everyone who visits, from little ones to grandparents and everyone in between — even those hard-to-impress teens. From the moment you ascend the tree-lined roads to Santa’s Workshop entrance, you’ll begin to see why this special attraction has been a favorite of locals and visitors alike for more than 60 years. Unlike its city counterparts, the North Pole sits upon a pristine mountainside at the base of Pikes Peak, nestled in the gorgeous Colorado forest and surrounded by great views.
Nearly two-dozen rides are scattered across this Christmas wonderland, with exciting experiences for every age. Wee ones (and those who like to take it slow) will love the antique carousel and the miniature train, plus a wealth of other kiddie rides that can usually fit mom and dad, too. The thrill seekers of your clan aren’t left out — they’ll scream with joy on the Candy Cane Coaster, the classic Tilt-O-Whirl. And did we forget the giant Ferris wheel overlooking the countryside and the twisty-turns of the striped Peppermint Slide. In addition to the rides, there are daily magic shows, live glass blowing presentations and an arcade with Skee Ball. Yeah, place this is definitely not skimping on the fun.
