Pikes Peak, Colorado
(Note: This page may need reloading on some browsers for new views)
Pikes Peak is the highest summit of the southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in North America. The 14,115-foot (4,302.31 m) fourteener is located in Pike National Forest, 12.0 miles (19.3 km) west of downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado. The mountain is named
after American explorer Zebulon Pike, who was unable to reach the summit. The summit is higher than any point in the United States east of its longitude. Pikes Peak is one of Colorado's 53 fourteener mountains
(peaks that are more than 14,000 feet [4,267.2 meters] above sea level). It is the 65th
tallest mountain in the U.S and the 34th highest mountain in Colorado, and
is the state's most famous mountain (and perhaps the country's, too).
The Peak is accessible via the 19-mile Pikes Peak Highway, the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, or hiking trails like Barr Trail. The summit offers panoramic views, and a visitor center. It famously inspired Katharine Lee Bates to write the song "America the Beautiful", after she visited the summit in 1893.
