where Pike National Forest is.. between Colo Springs and Denver... and UP

For those wondering what's there to see...

Pike National Forest
Colorado

Perhaps as embedded in American folklore as the Brooklyn Bridge, Pike's Peak is America's easternmost 14'er (a mountain with an elevation of 14,000 feet or higher). The sentinel rises suddenly, as if to declare this is where the prairie ends, and has greeted settlers heading west much in the same way that the Statue of Liberty greeted immigrants into New York Harbor.

Stillwater elevation is 890 feet above sea level at airport.
