Pikes Peak Timed Entry Ends September 30
Wednesday, September 30, 2026 · Colorado Springs, CO
Wednesday, September 30, is the final date in the 2026 season when personal vehicles traveling past mile 7 on the Pikes Peak Highway require a $2 timed-entry permit per vehicle. The permit assigns a two-hour arrival window at the Gateway, and visitors must also purchase admission unless another approved access option applies. Colorado Springs Utilities and Pikes Peak officials advise visitors to plan ahead because reservations may sell out. Annual passholders who reach the Gateway before 9 a.m. may qualify for the stated permit exception.
Location: Pikes Peak Highway
