Pikes Peak Summit Visitor Center

Posted by
Steven (Chicagoland, United States) on 3 January 2024 in Architecture and Portfolio.

The Pikes Peak Summit Visitor Center greets all who either ride the cog wheel train, drive by car, hike or bicycle to Pikes Peak. The state-of-the-art Pikes Peak Summit Visitor Center (altitude: 14,115 feet) opened in June 2021, providing people of all ages and abilities an exciting new experience on the summit of Pikes Peak. The facility provides improved accessibility throughout the entire summit, engaging interpretive exhibits that share the history of the mountain, a revamped gift shop, and indoor and outdoor dining areas where visitors can enjoy a world-famous Pikes Peak donut and other delicious treats while taking in the expansive views. The building and outdoor walkways were designed to create a seamless, immersive experience. From arrival at the summit and through all steps, visitors are enveloped in the natural forms of America’s Mountain.
