Pike’s Peak<\/h3>\n

Pike’s Peak was indeed a phenomenal place to visit, to explore and shoot photos. However, drink lots of water as the altitude may make some people extremely ill. There are water fountains all over for visistors to fill their water bottles, use them. <\/span><\/p>\n

History: <\/strong><\/p>\n

An Early Icon. After the Louisiana Purchase, people began traveling and searching for new fortunes and new beginnings.\u00a0 <\/span>Pikes Peak’s proximity to the edge of the Great Plains, as well as its height, made it the first sight of westward bound wagon trains, making \u201cPikes Peak or Bust\u201d the motto for gold seekers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elevation:\u00a0<\/span>14,115\u2032<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
