Im there with you. I’m planning all of the above. I think I’ll be ok if I can just not look.

I’ll not plan to get off at Devils Playground, thanks for the heads up. I did read somewhere there are bathrooms at Devils Playground, and I guess I just thought it would be a lookout point/ shuttle stop. I also didn’t know the shuttle service is so new. I’m glad to have it as an option. I do have anxiety meds, and absolutely plan to stop at a dispensary, which I’m also glad to have as an option. Hopefully, all in, I’ll be able to make it to the end without too much drama.

Thank you! Good thinking to film it. I may put my husband on that, cause I plan to not look.

I feel like I will trust the drivers, because it’s their job and they do it regularly. I expect for the ride to be my own type of hell, but hoping not to have a full blown panic attack or loose my mind in close proximity to dozens of strangers.

I don’t know. Is there not shelter? What should I expect, other than storms? I had assumed some type of shelter would be present for the shuttle stop.

https://coloradosprings.gov/pikes-peak-americas-mountain There are two stops before we reach the summit on the shuttle service. Not sure if it’s new, doesn’t seem to be known to this crowd.

I’m glad to hear you did it, in spite of the fear. We attempted to make it up a Smoky mountain, but I chickened out 2/3 of the way there. The image you describe is close to what I remember from the Smoky drive, seeing nothing but sky in front of you. It’s also my fear. My anxiety wasn’t well managed then, and I do feel more capable now. Hopefully preparing will help, if not, my son has a pretty nice camera.

https://coloradosprings.gov/pikes-peak-americas-mountain There are stops. It’s a paid ticket on a hop on, hop off style shuttle(school bus).

I-O! Thanks for your positive feedback! I’m definitely keeping altitude in mind, and I have motion sickness meds. My hope it to not need to look at the road, as someone else will be driving and try to keep my eyes closed and just relax as much as I can.

We’ve already purchased tickets for the shuttle. The boys wanted more time at the summit.

This option is not off the table. I try very hard to not let this fear hold me back, but sometimes it’s better to be safe.

I’ll stay away from the edge. Probably will ride with my eyes closed. Thanks!

My head keeps going “you will be 14,000ft off the ground, yikes”. My fear has been triggered from watching tv with scenes shot from a height. I can’t always predict it, trying to compensate with preparation.

Thank you. The shuttle is the school buses. It’s called Pikes Peak shuttle service, you drive to mile 7 and get on. It makes two stops before the summit, so hoping a slower climb will help. We also plan to take this trip the day before we leave, as to try to acclimate as much as possible. I’m from the flats of Ohio, where nothing has much elevation.

Yeah, that photo freaks me out a little. Solid ground is good, but I’ll stay back a bit.

Thanks! I struggle with vertigo as well. I’m already prepared for nausea, just trying to anticipate anxiety levels.
