About this postcard

The view looks across a forested slope and a road with a wooden guardrail toward the snow-streaked summit of Pikes Peak, identified in the printed caption as "Pikes Peak, Alt. 14,110 Ft. from the Rampart Range Road, Pikes Peak Region, Colorado." Pikes Peak is the 14,115-foot mountain in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains west of Colorado Springs; the Rampart Range Road is a scenic route through the Pike National Forest. The card's historical elevation of 14,110 feet reflects an earlier survey figure.
