Pikes Peak Highway

Apart from the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, another way to reach the 14,115-feet high Pikes Peak is by the Pikes Peak Highway. The journey to the top along this scenic 19-mile highway takes you through the pristine and scenic locales of the alpine landscape. Built in 1915, the highway is maintained by the council of Colorado Springs and is used for an annual event known as the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb. Outdoor enthusiasts will relish opportunities to embark on adventurous excursions as they traverse this route which snakes through picturesque sloping inclines.
