BE A PART OF HISTORY
The Blue Sky Hill Climb is an iconic 27-mile ride up the highest paved road in North America. We close the road to the top for your safety and viewing pleasure. Be a part of history - established in 1962.
The Climb is in honor of Bob Cook, a 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.
