Pikes Peak Summit Complex
The new Pikes Peak Summit Complex is one of the most anticipated soon-opening attractions in Colorado Springs/the Pikes Peak Region, this high tech new center still incorporating everyone's favorite Summit House donuts, as well as new interactive digital displays, extensive viewing areas, and more onsite dining and shopping options!
Pikes Peak Summit Complex 'stands to be as fascinating and unique as the history of the mountain it will stand on', featuring several different interactive digital displays covering the history, geology, and flora and fauna of the mountain. There will be extensive viewing areas such as rooftop terraces and sheltered picnic spots, as well as shopping and dining as mentioned before.
More about those famous Summit House Donuts, though; these donuts are special as they must be eaten at summit elevation, they will spoil in thicker air! The special recipe has been around since 1916, so they certainly know what they are doing. Be sure to grab a donut, or a dozen, from 'America's highest deep fryer' before you go!
Hit the North Slope Recreation Area nearby to fish, hike, or mountain bike, there is a free shuttle roaming around that starts at Devil's Playground and makes the trip up.
