The view has inspired the words to America the Beautiful, the highest Cog Railway in the world and a paved highway to the summit that hosts the second oldest motorsports event, “Race to the Clouds.” Pikes Peak, also known as America’s Mountain, offers spectacular beauty to those who have gazed upon it over the centuries. Sitting at 14,115 feet, it is the 30th highest “fourteener” (mountains with an elevation exceeding fourteen thousand feet) in Colorado. Now, through the power of the web, people can see the splendor of the mountain from their desktop, laptop, Smartphone or tablet for FREE anytime they please. Of course nothing beats the real thing, but those needing a fix of the gorgeous Colorado Rocky Mountains can click on www.VisitCOS.com/webcam any time the mood strikes. The Lodge at the Garden of the Gods Club, in conjunction with the Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center, hosts the camera that gazes upon the peak framed by the vibrant red hues of Garden of the Gods Park. Combined, Pikes Peak, the Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center and Garden of the Gods Park see upwards of 2.8 million visitors annually.
