Pikes Peak (Missouri)
Pikes Peak most likely takes its name from the taller Pikes Peak, in the Rocky Mountains.
Pikes Peak Highway
An earlier road up the mountain, the Pike's Peak Carriage Road, dates back to 1888. Thousands of tourists traveled along the Pikes Peak Carriage Road up to Pikes Peak's summit. It was opened by the Cascade Town Company in 1888 and closed in 1902.
