Colorado Springs Did you know ... Pikes Peak rises to more than 14,000 feet above sea level. It towers 8,000 feet above the nearby city of Colorado Springs. One unusual thing about Pikes Peak is that there is a road for vehicles to travel up to the top of the mountain. The view from the pinnacle of this mountain inspired Katherine Lee Bates to pen the words to the popular patriotic song "America the Beautiful"
