    Pikes Peak is the tallest summit in the southern Front Range, standing at 14,115 feet. It's one of the most iconic 14ers in all of Colorado. At the summit, you'll discover a visitor center and breathtaking vistas. Many visitors opt to return by train or arrange for a ride back to Manitou Springs, as there's a road leading down from this point.

      If you get up early, it's worth driving up the mountain in your own car. Where else can you drive up a four-thousand-meter peak?

        Great trip! If you're not used to the elevation, give yourself time to acclimate. I only acclimated for about a week and had to take frequent breaks past tree line, but we'll worth the trip. Barr Trail is also a great trip. "Easier" but longer than this path. 10/10, especially for submitting one of Colorado's 14ers!
