Summit Complex
The new 38,000-square-foot Summit House Visitor Center welcomes visitors, providing a breathtaking finale to their journey.
Economic Benefits
Today, nearly 600,000 visitors arrive at our mountain’s summit each year, contributing roughly $30 million to the local economy.
Learning Experiences
In the travel and recreation industries today, parks, museums, and other entertainment destinations increasingly compete for that most limited commodity of modern life: leisure time. To be competitive means offering visitors the most meaningful, compelling, and up-to-the-minute experience at the top of our mountain.
Accessibility (ADA Compliance)
The peak is accessible to all, regardless of their mobility. Those who come by vehicle may travel the 19-mile Pikes Peak Highway or ride the Cog Railway. The new Summit Complex will be ADA compliant.
Indoor & Outdoor Ammenities
New dining facilities, an outdoor dining terrace, and an expanded gift shop entice visitors to browse our collection of books on area history, wildlife, and the environment; pause for refreshments at the café or at an outdoor dining area; and take photographs of the unequalled vistas from the top. Enhanced dining and retail increase earned revenue to support ongoing operations and invite repeat visits.
Other amenities include:
- More convenient restrooms, which benefit those who experience altitude sickness upon arriving at the summit.
- Enabled Wi-Fi, so that visitors can share their experience on our mountain with family and friends in real time.
- 162 auto parking spaces, ten motorcycle spaces, and 12 bicycle lockers to be installed for day use.
- Accessibility via the Broadmoor Pikes Peak Cog Railway, which will run eight trips per day, auto, passenger bus, bicycle, foot trails, and ADA elevators, ramps, and other facilities.
