About Colorado Springs
Home of Pikes Peak & Team USA
At 14,115 feet tall, you can't miss the stunning backdrop of
Colorado Springs - Pikes Peak. This majestic mountain was the
inspiration of the line "purple mountain majesty" in Kathy Lee
Bates' poem that would later become the song "America the
Beautiful".
Colorado Springs is also home to the US Olympic & Paralympic
Committee (USOPC) and 25 National Governing Bodies of Sport. As
a training ground for some of the world's best athletes, you may
just run into an Olympic medalist while you're out exploring.
