Bigfoot Crossing Sign
At this point in the tour, a sign has been placed "for your safety" as some of the most credible signings of Bigfoot have taken place near the area. Our tour almost always guarantees a sighting and of course, a photo with him!

The historic Glen Cove Inn is an old ski lodge building which sits just under the timber line along the Pikes Peak Highway.

Devils Playground
Once the tour reaches the top of the Switchbacks, we see the rock formation and area known as Devil's Playground. We don't want to spoil the surprise by telling you how it got the name!

Bottomless Pit
The Bottomless Pit is as you would expect! Just below the summit of Pikes Peak, the highway nears a steep cliff you can view from the very edge of the road and look down and out across and expansive scene. This location is a favorite for family photos!

Pikes Peak Center
The Summit House on top of Pikes Peak is a gorgeous, state of the art visitors center. In the Summit House, you can try the famous high-altitude doughnuts, learn about the history of the Peak with the exhibit, get your goodies in the gift shop, and experience work-class views throughout eh giant windows facing toward the east. Outside of the Summit House, you can walk around the Peak and experience 360 degree views that stretch all the way into Kansas and New Mexico.
