    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.
  • The celebration also recognized the reopening of The Broadmoor Manitou & Pikes Peak Cog Railway , which has taken visitors to the summit of Pikes Peak since 1891.
