The City of Colorado Springs and many other stakeholders have long been committed to the task of building a new Pikes Peak Summit Visitor Center that is truly worthy of the majesty and magnificence of Pikes Peak and the luster of its history, said Suthers in his ceremonial address. - We now have a visitor center that William Palmer, Spencer Penrose and the generations of Pikes Peak advocates who have come before us would be proud of.
