Bob Cook Memorial Blue Sky Hill Climb

27.4 Miles • 6,700’ Vertical • Highest Paved Road in the US

Idaho Springs to Mount Blue Sky, Colorado

Formally Mt Evans, Mt Blue Sky is an iconic ride up the highest paved road in North America. We close the road to the top for your safety and viewing pleasure. It’s the only way to ride this epic road without vehicular distraction. You vs. mountain.

You can ride in the Citizens Challenge or enter the USA Cycling Race. Racers must have a USAC license. Both routes are the same, 27 miles and over 6,700’ of gain, finishing at the Summit at 14,130.’

The Hill Climb is in honor of Bob Cook, US Olympian and record holder. Bob Cook died of brain cancer at the age of 23, and the Hill Climb is a memorial to this extraordinary athlete. NY Times Article
