The Pikes Peak Colorado Loop is located in central Colorado.  This out and back loop starts in Colorado Springs at the Garden of the Gods and includes stops at several interesting sites on the way to Pikes Peak and back.

 

After leaving Garden of the Gods, travel just a short distance before visiting the Manitou Cliff Dwellings.  From the Cliff Dwellings, it is just another short ride to the Cave of the Winds.  Even if you don’t intend to tour the cave, you should ride up the driveway just for fun.

 

A few miles past the Cave of the Winds is the entrance to the Pikes Peak Highway.  The Pikes Peak Highway itself is an amazing road and needs to be experienced.  The road winds through alpine meadows above the treeline to the summit at over 14,000 feet above sea level.

 

After a visit to the summit and a thrilling ride back down, this route follows the same road back down toward Garden of the Gods, but takes a side trip through Manitou Springs.  After another ride through Garden of the Gods, the ride ends back at the Visitor Center.  Motorcycle Rides, Colorado, Colorado Springs
