The tour guide was excellent! We had a tight schedule due to an early flight, but the guide ensured we made the most of our limited time. It expertly guided us to the most popular sites, and we were thoroughly impressed. Despite the time constraint, the tour guide didn't disappoint us.
Ascend to the summit of the legendary Pikes Peak on this self-guided driving tour up one of America’s most iconic mountain roads. On this winding road to the top of the mountain, visitors are treated to soaring vistas, unique ecosystems, and historical remnants of the mountain’s past. Along the way, hear stories of gold miners, ancient Ute paths, and the death-defying Race to the Clouds. This alpine drive is a true Colorado classic that can’t be missed. Purchase one tour per car, not per person. Everyone listens together! After booking, you can check your email before downloading the Tour Guide App by Action, entering your unique password, and accessing your tour. The preceding steps require good internet/Wi-Fi access. Simply follow the audio instructions and the route from there. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months. This is not an entrance ticket to attractions along the route. Check opening hours before your visit.

Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: North Catamount Reservoir
