About Cloud Camp:

3,000 feet above The Broadmoor atop Cheyenne Mountain is The Broadmoor's newest wilderness experience, Cloud Camp. With unobstructed 360 degree views, the incomparable splendor of Colorado resides here. On the historic site of Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose's Cheyenne Lodge, this escape is meant to inspire and amaze. Perfect for group retreats and leisure getaways alike, Cloud Camp combines a setting miles above the rest with the impeccable service you've come to expect from The Broadmoor.

Cloud Camp's 8,000 square foot main lodge, with a design influenced by the historic timber and stone lodges of the American West, features hand-hewn beams and indigenous stone fireplaces. Its great room and bar area serve as the backdrop for inspired and relaxed gatherings, while an expansive wrap-around deck is an unparalleled location from which to absorb the magnificence of the Pikes Peak region.

Eleven one and two bedroom guest cabins, as well as six accommodations in the lodge and an adjacent "honeymoon cabin," are all beautifully appointed with rich furnishings and modern amenities and include private porches. Each cabin's features are further enhanced by spectacular views of Pikes Peak, "America's Mountain," and the surrounding national forest.

Transportation to this Rocky Mountain retreat is an adventure in itself. Guests have the unique option of either a chauffeured ride up the mountain via Cadillac Escalade, or a 45 minute mule ride from half way up the mountain to the top. For the more adventurous, guests may hike from either the Shrine of the Sun (approximately 2 hours uphill) or from the mule station (approximately 1 1?4 hours) to the camp's location on the summit of Cheyenne Mountain while bags are transported to the top.
