About

See Pikes Peak Like Almost No One Ever Has.

Most visitors experience Pikes Peak in broad daylight, sharing the summit with the crowds. A rare few get to see it transformed. Just a handful of times each year, the Pikes Peak Highway opens beyond regular hours, and we take you 14,115 feet up one of Colorado's most legendary "fourteeners" for a private summit experience reserved for almost no one. At dawn, the first light breaks over the Rockies and sets the Sangre de Cristo range, the distant peaks, and the entire horizon aglow in gold and pink. No crowds. Just you and a view that stretches farther than any point in the country east of this longitude.

This season, for the first time, we're adding a few once-in-a-lifetime sunset summits, trading the morning glow for the deep, burning colors of last light over the mountains. Whether you choose sunrise or sunset, these dates are limited and they fill fast. A regular trip up Pikes Peak is unforgettable. This is once in a lifetime. Reserve your seat before they're gone.

The summit is higher than any point in the United States east of its longitude!!!!
