I am thinking it would be fun to drive to the top of Mt Evans and then the top of Pikes Peak (or visa-versa) in one day. Would not leave much time for sightseeing on either peak, but its about the drive
Hmmm. I'm skeptical about that 4 hours. But what do I know? If that bit is 4 hours, getting to/from will be another 3. Plus you need to add in some "rest" time at each summit. And a meal somewhere.
I think it could be done, but it will be a long day
I certainly want to do Mt. Evans this year. I'd also like to do Loveland Pass and Independence Pass. (Trail Ridge doesn't need to go on the list because I drive it 3 or 4 times every year.)
Hi Doug...
This sounds like a lot of FUN! But, I gotta ask the silly question: Do 'ya think it would be "ok" for a car not yet broken-in? Sadly; I've got what currently amounts to a garage queen -- but, come retirement (1 Jun 13) -- she's coming out of hibernation!

For a shorter drive alternative... How about Denver - Idaho Springs - Black Hawk - Nederland - Estes Park - Rocky Mountain Nat Park. Lots of peaks, twisters, and scenery... But only an hour and a half each way. We could start at Castlewood Canyon State Park to add 30 min. Eat in Estes Park. Loop around Rocky Mountain Nat Park.... Thoughts?

And maybe I should clarify... my Bumble Bee isn't broken -- she's only got 364 miles on her! But yeah, you're right -- they are public roads and it can't hurt. "Thanks... for the insight."
One thought on Rocky Mountain National Park guys, due to sequester there are rumblings that Trail Ridge may open later this year. We haven't had an obscene amount of spring snow but there has been some, so she will need to be plowed a bit for a decent May opening.
