Pikes Peak Tollroad Scenic Drive

 
 
 

Map Symbols

Pikes Peak Tollroad starts at Cascade, Colorado and winds 12.42 miles to the summit making the greatest elevation gain of any peak in the state - 7,400 feet from base to summit. Number 31 of 54 14,000' peaks in Colorado, yet Pikes Peak is the most visited in the state and, as a matter of fact, the second most visited in the World. Expect to spend approximately two hours for a round trip to the top and back.

If you feel adventurous, try hiking Barr Trail to the top. Starting in Manitou Springs just west of Colorado Springs, the trail traverses 13 miles of breathtaking views (and altitude)! Take the necessary precautions with this method. Several conditions can occur due to altitude, dehydration and intense sunshine. For more information on Colorado outdoor adventures visit our Fun Facts page.

No matter how you journey this spectacle of the Rocky Mountain Region, Pikes Peak will energize and refresh your spirit. This truly is, as Katherine Lee Bates described, "America the Beautiful."
