The highway has been home to an annual automobile and motorcycle race called the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb since 1916.  Next weekend is the Hillclimb!

The railway is the highest in North America by a considerable margin. It was built and is operated solely for the tourist trade.

Time to head in and grab a bite to eat before the trek down the mountain.  BTW Imagine how deep the snow was a few short months ago!
