Colorado Springs Pikes Peak, aka, America's Mountain, is the most visited mountain in North America and the second most visited mountain in the world behind Japan's Mount Fuji. Over a half a million people reach the summit peak, most by the Pikes Peak Cog Railway to enjoy the stunning panoramic views. A stone's throw away is the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Cave of the Winds, Garden of the Gods and many other famous attractions.
Encounter Africa at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Meet South African elephant Kimba, weighing 10,000 pounds and standing over 9 feet tall, and see African lion cubs, Jamila and Zwena. See the zoo from above on a Sky Ride soaring above the zoo's 146 acres, teaming with 550 wild animals. Enjoy tons of exhibits and attractions including yummy food and fun souvenirs.
Yee-haw! It's time for the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo, a long-standing Colorado Springs tradition. The western celebration kicks off with a downtown parade and rounds up with the nation's finest cowboys and cowgirls competing in non-stop rodeo action from bull riding to barrel racing.
