Pikes Peak and the Garden of the Gods


While in Colorado Springs, driving up to the top of Pikes Peak – America’s Mountain is a great experience. A 19-mile journey which takes you through winding roads and breathtaking scenery up to 14.1110 feet (4203m). You can also choose to ride the Pikes Peak Cograilway (Swiss engineering!).
Also in the area is The Garden of the Gods, a registered National Natural Landmark, with 300 ft towering sandstone rock formations, offers dramatic views against a backdrop of snow-capped Pikes Peak and brilliant blue skies.
