Additional Details:
The Pike's Peak Auto Highway is the world's highest auto highway, reaching the summit of Pike's Peak, 14,109 feet above the sea. It is a double track boulevard 18 miles long and from twenty to fifty feet wide all the way. Smooth and even as a pavement. A motor trip over this wonderful highway affords a view of over 50,000 square miles of mountain and plain an area greater than the state of Illinois, with a downward vision into an abyss half a mile greater than the Grand Canyon of Arizona
