Spanning nearly 1,000 acres, Pikes Peak State Park features 500-foot views overlooking the confluence of the Wisconsin and Mississippi rivers.
Opened in 1935, the park is named for the same explorer whose name also rests upon one of the tallest peaks along the Rocky Mountains.
Pikes Peak welcomes travelers with 11 miles of hiking opportunities.
One signature stop for nature lovers is the Bridal Veils Fall Trail, a half-mile boardwalk to one of the park's most popular places.
Views along the trails in Pikes Peak State Park reveal the region's rich history, with over 60 effigy mounds dating back more than 1,000 years.
Taken together, Pikes Peak and Effigy Mounds offer road-trippers an opportunity to stretch their legs and take in some of the best views in the Hawkeye State.
