Temporary Road Closure - Pikes Peak

Pikes Peak Access Road - Ice/Mixed Routes

Access

We attempted to park at the "Hero Traverse" (approx. mile marker 18) to climb the route, "Total Abandon" on the Corinthian Column yesterday. The road was temporarily closed for conditions, and we were required to park at Mile Marker 16.

By the time we were descending, the road had been cleared and opened to the public.

Not a major issue, but be advised that you need to factor in this additional 4 miles into your day.
If you do approach the climbs when the road is closed, be advised that park officials reminded us that you must not be within 100' of the paved surface.

Reminder, Park gates opens at 9:00am and Closes at 5:00pm
