Hart Van Denburg/CPR News
A Pikes Peak shuttle bus makes its way towards the 14,115-feet summit ahead of rain clouds on Monday, July 28, 2025. The service, which starts at mile marker 7 on the Pikes Peak Highway, has only been in service a couple of years.

Calls to Colorado’s mental health line are climbing — and more than half are from men. We discuss if this signals a shift in how they seek help. Then, a new federal move that could change how carbon dioxide and methane are treated as public health threats. And if you’ve ever braved the winding, nerve‑wracking road up Pike’s Peak, here’s now a new way to reach the summit.
