Famous Pikes Peak near Colorado Springs is 14,115 feet high. The views from the top are nothing less than incredible.  However, not everyone can access it on foot. It is a very difficult hike and certainly not for beginners. Still, if you still want to see some of the jaw-dropping views here you can always climb aboard the planet’s highest cog train.
