Pikes Peak is a mountain in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, 10 miles (16 km) west of Colorado Springs, Colorado. At 14,115 feet (4302 m), it is one of Colorado's 54 fourteeners and it is a National Historic Landmark. Katharine Lee Bates was moved to write the words to the song "America the Beautiful" in 1893, after having travelled to the top of Pikes Peak on a carriage ride.
