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.

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.
