Pikes Peak, Colorado
Pikes Peak is one of the highest peaks in North America, at 14,000 ft above sea level. In comparison, the Leh, Ladakh route in India is at 11,500 ft.
The greatest thing about this peak is its accessibility. A 19-mile scenic drive takes you to the summit. Visitors can also reach the summit by train (Pikes Peak Cog Railway) or through a hop-on hop-off shuttle.
The scenic drive might feel adventurous if you are not used to mountain driving. The 360-degree views from the Summit are unbeatable.
These spectacular views inspired the author Katherine Lee Bates to write the iconic American Anthem " America - the Beautiful".
Here is our travelogue.
