When the founder and Civil War General William Jackson Palmer first gazed upon Pikes Peak and the region at its foot, he had a vision. His vision over a century ago played a significant role in the development of the community. He believed Colorado Springs and the surrounding area were a place worthy of development, but also of preservation.
Colorado Springs is a place of recreation, opportunity and exceptional beauty. Pikes Peak Mountain has been the center of attention in this region for thousands of years drawing people from all over the world. In 1806, Zebulon Pike, a young lieutenant who was never able to ascend the great mountain bearing his name, gazed upon the peak from over 100 miles away. However, long before Pike stepped into the area, the Ute Indians passed at the foot of the mountain as they traveled from their summer campgrounds to the winter hunting grounds.
