As you explore the mountain, be sure to pick up a Donut Day Passport and collect a stamp at each Ranger Talk location. Once you’ve collected all three stamps, show your completed passport to one of our donut-wearing rangers to receive a special edition “Leave No Crumbs” sticker as your reward for protecting the Peak!
And yes, donuts will be available for purchase at each Ranger Talk stop! Don’t worry, our chefs know how to make them just as delicious at lower altitudes.
Donut Day activities are free to participate in, but you’ll need to reserve a timed entry or shuttle ticket in advance for June 6. Pikes Peak Highway admission can be purchased ahead of time online or at the Gateway on the day of the event.

As you explore the mountain, be sure to pick up a Donut Day Passport and collect a stamp at each Ranger Talk location. Once you’ve collected all three stamps, show your completed passport to one of our donut-wearing rangers to receive a special edition “Leave No Crumbs” sticker as your reward for protecting the Peak!
And yes, donuts will be available for purchase at each Ranger Talk stop! Don’t worry, our chefs know how to make them just as delicious at lower altitudes.
