Pikes Peak Highway in Colorado Springs — view 2
Pikes Peak Highway is a 19-kilometre scenic road that ascends to the summit of Pikes Peak, one of Colorado's 54 fourteeners, reaching 4,302 metres above sea level. Built in the early 20th century, the highway offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Rockies and is lined with wildflowers in summer and vibrant foliage in autumn. Allocate several hours for the drive, especially if you plan to stop at viewpoints or the summit house, where you can enjoy refreshments after the climb. The best time to visit is late spring through early autumn, but be cautious of sudden weather changes at higher elevations.

    Half-day tour by Jeep — ascend Pikes Peak before exploring Garden of the Gods, with stops at scenic viewpoints along the way.

    Gizmo served as our tour guide in an open-air jeep and was both knowledgeable and friendly, sharing insights throughout our two-part tour. We began and concluded at the stunning Garden of the Gods, a remarkable city park with breathtaking scenery and mountain goats on narrow ridges. Although the trip up Pikes Peak was sunny, it was also cold and windy; thankfully, we were provided with clean wool blankets and large jackets. The views from the top were incredible. The visitor center and museum revealed the long history of people racing to the summit and exploring the peak. This experience is truly unique. Be sure to drink plenty of water to combat altitude sickness.diannek412 on the Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods Jeep tour tour
