About this postcard

A view looking across a dense evergreen forest toward the snow-streaked summit of Pikes Peak, with a pale dirt road cut into the hillside at the right. The caption identifies the peak at 14,110 feet, seen from the Rampart Range Road in the Pikes Peak region of Colorado. Pikes Peak, one of the most famous summits of the Front Range, gave its name to the 1893 Pikes Peak gold rush and inspired Katharine Lee Bates's "America the Beautiful" after her 1893 ascent.
