While certainly one of the most famous mountains in the country and the second most visited mountain in the world (behind Mount Fuji), Pikes Peak stands at 14,115 feet, and towers 8,000 feet above Colorado Springs. Drive the Pikes Peak Highway to the summit, or enjoy the ride up via the Cog Railway.
