Pikes Peak is the highest summit of the southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, in North America. The ultra-prominent 14,115-foot (4,302.31 m) fourteener is located in Pike National Forest, 12.0 miles (19.3 km) west by south (bearing 263Â°) of downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Pikes Peak is a designated National Historic Landmark. Tava or âsun,â is the Ute word that was given by these first people to the mountain that we now call Pikes Peak. The band of Ute people who called the Pikes Peak region their home were the Tabeguache, meaning the People of Sun Mountain.. The Ute people first arrived in Colorado about 500 A.D., although their traditions say they were created on Pikes Peak.
