Thinking of stopping there the second week of October. I see you have to make arrangements to drive up.
When we were there, it was in the 50's (Early August, about 11:00 a.m.).Many times. Used to live in Woodland Park, CO. What would you like to know?
Make sure you bring a coat and gloves. Good brakes are essential for the descent. The donuts at the summit visitor's center are horrible.
I'd like to drive it again. A bucket list thing.Went this summer. Go online and reserve your timeslot for $2. Then you pay your $50 when you get to the booth. At about 11kft, I'd get a little dizzy looking sideways while driving. From there on, I had to stay focused straight ahead. Was very worth it.

Been there, done that. Be sure to have a footrace around the parking lot at the top!! You'll be on the ground before you know it!!
I left the Arm Pit of the country in 03...really have no clue where the name "The Garden State" came from...Nice pics. A different world to this east coast boy.
We will be traveling down from Washington State through Montana then South Dakota the second week of October. Taking the 25 south through Denver and Colorado Springs. Thought we would take a drive up to the summit.
We were there last year about this time , there was a fee.When did they start making you pay ? I was born and raised in Colorado and drove it many times. I must say though the early 80's was the last time. My how things change
