Drive to the Top of Pikes Peak
No visit to the Pikes Peak Region is complete without a trip to the most visited mountain in North America
and the second most visited mountain in the world. From the gateway at 7,400 feet to the 14,100 foot
summit, you'll marvel at the scenery on this 19-mile journey to the top. Stop in and pick up souveniers at
one of three gift shops (the picture below was taken at the first gift shop). It's very cold at the
summit, so pack your jacket. For more information visit www-pikes-peak.com or call (800) 318-9505.
