half way going down there is a ranger inspection station where they check the temperature of your brakes to warn you if you are overheating your brakes and they advise motorists to gear down.
"Pikes Peak is the highest summit of the southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in North America. The ultra-prominent 14,115-foot (4,302.31 m) fourteener is located in Pike National Forest, 12 miles (19 km) west of downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado. The town of Manitou Springs lies at its base." - Wikipedia What im trying to get to: its not 14,300 feet, its 14,100
I just uploaded a content of the road to the Peak of Mt. Lemmon in Arizona. Don't judge me in few weeks from now as of today Wikipedia may also change a numbers of this peak :D

Pikes Peak is only 14, 115..js
Which car were you driving up the hill? Was working pretty hard! Wondering if my 1.8 little Corolla would make it LOL
The higher up you go, the less oxygen there is available for your car engine, so it will actually lose some power.
Brand new Acura MDX… and I could smell something was burning in the engine or transmission:)
@@drivethrough7220boy did I call that wrong. Swore I heard a diesel engine.
What month was this?
