How long to drive down the Pikes Peak highway?
To drive Pikes Peak Highway it takes approximately 2 hours. It is one hour up and one hour down. This is if you do not stop along the way and visit Crystal Reservoir, the Catamount Reservoirs, Glen Cove or any of the other places like Halfway Picnic Ground.
