Pikes Peak, Mountain peak in El Paso County, United States
Pikes Peak rises to 4,302 meters as part of the Rocky Mountains, with granite formations and an alpine tundra ecosystem at higher elevations.
Lieutenant Zebulon Pike first recorded the mountain in 1806, leading to its designation as the first American mountain National Historic Landmark in 1916.
Native American tribes, including the Ute people, named the mountain Tava, meaning sun, reflecting their deep connection to this natural monument.
