Season questions
Is the Pikes Peak Highway open right now?
The official road status is the only definitive answer, and it changes fast up high. As a guide: the typical driving season runs June to November. The live summit weather on this page helps judge conditions today.
How high is the Pikes Peak Highway?
The summit of the driven road sits at about 4,298 m (14,101 ft), which is why the season is set by snow rather than by the calendar.
