Pikes Peak Details
It may not be the tallest mountain in Colorado, but this peak is indeed the highest of the southern Front Range. It stands 14,115-feet tall and boasts magnificent views of the valleys and meadows. And if you are lucky, you might be able to see the neighboring four states (Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Kansas) in the distance. If time is limited, you can drive to the top of the peak in roughly two hours. However, it is worth spending more time in order to see a few notable attractions in the area, including the Garden of the Gods, the North Slope Recreation Area, and Colorado Springs.
