Box 1575 - MC 060 Colorado Springs, CO 80901-1575 (719) 684-9007 (719) 684-2234 fax Vehicle route to the summit of Pikes Peak (14,110 ft.). Nineteen miles to the top: first seven paved, the rest are maintained gravel. Location for the annual 4th of July Pikes Peak Auto Hill Climb. Many hairpin turns.

Paving

I was up there on Labor Day in 2011 (mistake, got stuck behind two Harleys creeping round the corners at v < 10 mph) and it looked to me as though the only unpaved section was one which had previously been paved; it was just below Glen Cove and the brake temperature check.
