Beautiful video. Thanks for posting!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow thanks we had no idea about having to now reserve a time slot to drive all the way up
Fellow Missourians here
You're welcome! We missed it by one day when we visited in May. It is a new requirement.
@@HappyPharmLife thanks so much because of you something that has been in my bucket list for many many years has been marked off. It was an amazing day driving up.
It was an interesting drive down it was pouring down rain and got to see the rangers have to get a bit loud with a man at the brake temp check who had LARGE amounts of smoke billowing from under his vehicle from his brakes not wanting to pull over and stop but the got him to.
It was such an awesome view up top and because of your video I knew to make a reservation and got to go all the way up which it was absolutely worth it!!!
So glad I was able to help! It sounds like you had quite the adventure to the top! 😊
My dad took us there before it was paved in a minivan kinda sucks they paved it! It was quite an experience. We may or may not have stole a rock from the top 😊
My grandparents told me about their trip up the gravel road and it sounded like it always made for an interesting journey!
Wow, PIkes Peak is really beautiful with that snow on it. I drove up it in Sept 2022 and was very nervous about it as I don't do well with heights. If you're considering it- Unless you are terrified of heights I would drive up it vs taking the cog railway. It was such a fun adventure but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have some very sweaty hands lol. Tips- Go for an EARLY time slot. The reason is so you're far less likely to have people pile up behind you. Be sure to pull over when possible to let them pass. Keep your eyes glued to the inside as your drive up since that is the scary part as you're on the side close to the edge. On the way down- make sure you aren't riding your brakes! A good idea is to skip all stops on the way up and do them on the way down if you're not used to using your gears, that way you have built in rest stops to let them cool off.
Also did Skyline drive which was pretty tame after Pikes. But seeing those dinosaur tracks was really fun and gives you an idea of just how much things have changed over time.
These are great tips! We also took an early timeslot and didn't have people behind us so we could take our time!
Hi there! Thanks for the informative video! When exactly did you go?
Did both Pikes Peak and Mt Evans last year and preferred the views from Evans. The road up pikes is in much better shape but it gave Evans more of an adventure feel.
We will have to check that our next time we visit!
Thank you so much for the clip.
You're welcome! 😊
I am teacher from Kansas, I would love to for you come to our summer camp and you can learn about how interesting Kansas can be!
I have family in Kansas, so I know it isn't all flatland, but that highway...very boring.
@@HappyPharmLife We usually take highway 400 from near Joplin and hit hwy 50. Neat little towns on that route.
Oh we know how the drive is through Kansas... We just drove from Colorado springs Colorado for Roller Skating Nationals @ the Xfinity skate center all the way from Connecticut... Gps said 28+ hours but it was well over a 30 hour drive that we made with barley any stops... Just for food snacks drinks and bathroom! We are leaving today and really want to check out pikes peak before we head home Connecticut because of how beautiful it looked in your video and because you had enjoyed your drive up pikes peak! Thank you for the enjoyable and informative beautiful video, and for sharing your experience with us!
That drive is brutal but we were coming from mid-Missouri so not nearly as long of a drive. It said it would take is 10.5 hours and it took closer to 12 hours with very minimal stops as well. I hope you get to go up Pikes Peak it is a beautiful drive!
I'll be making this same trip from Indianapolis 🙂 Except, I'll be going up Pkes Peak on an electric unicycle 🤓👍 lol
How fun!!! Enjoy the view!
In 2012 we went all the way up i must say i was scared first thing i don't like heights but once we got to the summit it was beautiful I remember we have to eat this little Donuts and a little drink to help you with the height because it's hardly any Oxygen you can get dizzy hopefully you make it next time
I got a question I got reservations for 8-10am but does that mean I only have those two hours and I have to come back down? Or does that mean I can go wherever between that time.
When we went last year, that was just the timeframe we had to enter. We didn't have any restrictions on how long we stayed on the mountain.
I am from Florida visiting CO 1st week of March. I have no experience in driving in slow or not even in the mountains. Is it safe to drive without prior experience? I will have to think about taking a jeep tour if it is too scary
The main roads are typically well maintained so hopefully it wouldn't be too much of an issue

I'm going to Pikes Peak early December. If there is snow would I need a 4 wheel drive or can I make the drive to the top in an economy car?
You would need to call the weather information line. The ability to go to the top will depend on if they have cleared the road or not. It took over a week for the entire road to get cleared to the top in May. A 4 wheel drive would definitely be helpful that time of year.
Which month you travelled
May
There was that much snow in MAY 😮. I’m taking vacation around June 19-25. How will the weather be ?
I’m from Missouri too and drove to CO twice and that drive is definitely boring
As someone who lives in Kansas….you should just stay in Misery.
I'm from Northwest Missouri. I know how horrible the drive is. I did it last month
The drive is horrible, but the views are worth it! 👌
nice
I’m from Missouri too and drove to CO twice and that drive is definitely boring
Just a lot of cows, windmills, and grass 😅
