Pikes Peak Center
The next stop on the itinerary is the majestic view from the top of Pikes Peak. This peak was also known as Sun Mountain by the Ute people and El Capitan by Spanish explorers, but it was later named after the explorer Zebulon Pike. It is also known as America’s Mountain because the magnificent vista at the top inspired the lyrics of “America, the Beautiful.” The mountain stands at 14,115 feet and is the tallest mountain in the southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. As you stand at the summit, you will have a beautiful view of Colorado Springs and the rest of the Rocky Mountain range. With the right conditions, you will see for miles, enjoying all the natural beauty.

Our driver David was very informative and safe. The drive up and views on Pikes Peak are spectacular. Very windy and hard to breathe at the top due to the altitude but well worth the trip. Lovely packed sandwiches and water provided for lunch in a beautiful setting half way down the mountain

I've had the pleasure of experiencing many travel tours and our tour guide (Dave) made this a wonderful experience. While we did incur some inclement weather near the top of Pikes Peak, Dave was very accommodating, extremely knowledgeable and made our touran absolute success.

Great trip and beautiful stops. Perfect for someone staying in Denver and looking to get out of the city for the day. Brian was excellent and engaging between stops, providing a lot of information about the region.
