Pikes Peak National Cemetery

Pikes Peak National Cemetery is a 374-acre burial ground in Colorado Springs designed to serve military veterans, their spouses, and eligible family members. The grounds feature an administration building, memorial walkways, a flag pole area, committal shelters for services, and technology that helps visitors locate specific gravesites.

The facility was established in 2014 when the Department of Veterans Affairs acquired the Rolling Hills Ranch property to create a new burial ground. The initial development phase prepared 65 acres with burial capacity for thousands of service members and their families.

The cemetery serves as a gathering place for military families to honor those who served, with distinct areas designed to accommodate different burial traditions and faiths. Visitors often gather in the memorial spaces to reflect on sacrifice and service.

The administrative office is open Monday through Friday during business hours, while the cemetery grounds are accessible every day from sunrise to sunset. Electronic gravesite locators on the property help visitors find specific burial locations without difficulty.

The property was developed on former ranch land while preserving the natural rolling hills of the region. This integration with the landscape creates a serene setting that distinguishes it from typical cemetery designs in urban areas.
