For additional information, call 719-385-PEAK or visit www.pikespeakcolorado.com. Open year-round, weather permitting. The most visited mountain in North America and the second most visited mountain in the world behind Japan's Mount Fuji, Pikes Peak forms a stunning backdrop for Colorado Springs and the Garden of the Gods. At an altitude of 14,115 feet above sea level, Pikes Peak is the 31st highest peak out of 54 Colorado peaks. It is the farthest east of the big peaks in the Rocky Mountain chain, which contributed to its early fame among explorers, pioneers and immigrants and made it the symbol of the 1859 Gold Rush to Colorado with the slogan, "Pikes Peak or Bust".

Over a half million people reach the Summit House every year by the Pikes Peak Highway, Barr Trail or the Pikes Peak Cog Railway. The 19-mile Pikes Peak Highway is paved to the summit and  is open year round, weather permitting. Barr Trail is the longest of any trails leading to the top of the 54 mountains in Colorado that are over 14,000 feet, and offers the greatest base-to-summit elevation gain in the state: 7,400 feet. About 15,000 people a year attempt to climb Pikes Peak on foot. The 13-mile trail begins at the base of Pikes Peak in Manitou Springs. The 8.9 mile Cog Railway typically operates April through December. Four notable events take place on the mountain each year. The Pikes Peak Marathon, a 26-mile round trip foot race up Barr Trail and then back down each August, draws thousands of runners from all over the world. The top round trip finishing time is three hours and 16 minutes. The second event, the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is a race on the 12.42 mile road, which starts around the 6 1/2 mile mark on the highway. The third event, the "Assault on the Peak" Bike Event is the only opportunity for bicyclists to ride to the summit of Pikes Peak. The fourth event is the AdAmAn Club New Year’s Fireworks display on December 31, 12:00 a.m.

Did you know that Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain is pet friendly?! There’s no better place to bring a dog or puppy than to Pikes Peak, where there are trails, streams and lots of room to frolic in and critters to sniff out! It is strongly recommended that pets remain on a leash so as to avoid getting lost. However, leashes are not mandatory. It’s not very often that a dog would have this kind of opportunity for so many new sniffs, sights and sounds. Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain is a certainly a place for everyone in the family to romp around and play in.
