The second most visited mountain in the world, next to Mount Fuji, Japan. Pikes Peak is 14,115 feet. There are 3 ways of getting to the top: the first one is to hike it, (Free); secondly, to drive up ($10/per person); and third, the cog ($26 per/person).
I have taken the Cog, and I have climbed to the top. If you climb it, you will adjust to the altitude better. I have yet to drive.
3 of the following 4 pictures were taken from the top of Pike's Peak. Although you may or may not see it, Colorado Springs is in the second picture. This should give you a pretty good idea as to how high Pike's Peak really is. Leave a Comment

This is a small zoo, but it is very nice. The animals you see here are typical of the ones you see in other zoos, but some exhibits are closed in winter due to the cold. The prettiest time to go is close to Christmas time during the "Electric Safari". You can see the entire skyline of Colorado Springs as well as the thousands upon thousands of lights distributed through the zoo. Admission is $6 US for the Electric Safari, $12 US all other times.

This is actually a city park. There is much to do here. Hiking, rock-climbing, or just a leisurely stroll. A visitors center located across the highway contains films on the history of the Garden Of The Gods, a gift shop, and facilities. Admission is free. Leave a Comment Address: Garden of the Gods Road Colorado Springs, ColoradoDirections: From I-25, take Garden of the Gods Road. The park will be on your right.

This is a must see...it is where college students are transformed into tomorrows USAF leaders. Pictured is the cadet chapel. The top portion is protestant, while the bottom portion is divided catholic and jewish. The jewish section's floors are actual stone blocks taken from the Holy Land. This is a must see.

Quite possibly the most laid back National Park in the country. You can even have your dogs here, with no questions asked!! It's $3 US per person, for a 7 day pass, camping, and of course, hiking on the dunes. The visitors center has a history of the park, as well as the geology of the sand and surrounding areas. This is a very hard hike to do, so allow yourself enough time to hike up the dunes. Looking at it, it doesn't seem that hard, but trust me, it is.
