Spirited driving up a great canyon for it. These drives typically intensify as they go, this one is no exception. Scenic Colorado, just north of Pike’s Peak.
Sept 14. Sunrise. 37 to 41 degrees F. 7 miles to the crest, from 6,500 ft. to 7,930 ft. altitude.
41 curves, 18 right, 23 left, 21 off camber.
Main features of interest of the road are the steep incline, a slight roughness, and focus is certainly on the off cambered turns.
Safety features of the road are a near total lack of intersections, including driveways, very few houses, (which are separated from the road by the creek), A steep incline, (offering a highly decreased stopping distance, and as the road really doesn't go anywhere, there is very little traffic.
The hazards are the deer, (which can be seen every time out), as well as the occasional moose and bighorn.
Негізгі бет 1,500 ft. Altitude gain in 7 miles, great sounding sports car in scenic Colorado.
