We took an afternoon to drive to the summit of Pikes Peak; with an altitude of 14,115 feet above sea level, you can see for miles and miles. It was truly a magnificent experience, however, due to there being only 60% oxygen there is a time limit of 30 minutes before it is highly recommended to begin your decent to the bottom. The drive down was spectacular! The views will take your breath away, and that is not the altitude talking either. If driving the road scares you, there is a train you can take to the top. If you are in the Colorado Springs area, we highly recommend a drive up to the summit of Pikes Peak.
