Pikes Peak, Colorado. Altitude, 14,109 Feet
Additional Details:
| Although there are many loftier mountain peaks in Colorado, Pikes Peak is the eminence which is first thought of in connection with the Colorado Rockies. Situated in the first eastern range, it can be seen one hundred miles away, and its white top has been a land-mark ever since its discoverer, after whom it is named, despairingly said that its top would probably never be trodden by man. |
