Pikes Peak is the monarch overlooking the City of Colorado Springs. It's a tremendous tourist draw. Although you can drive to the top, the 13-mile Barr Trail is the longest of any Colorado 14er. In addition, it's got fantastic technical rock climbing on numerous alpine crags.
Here's a rendering of Pikes Peak high over Colorado Springs (click for the high res version):
We're on a team that's submitted a proposal for a master plan for the open space properties that are shown in orange and yellow. The yellow colored property - Red Rock Canyon - is already open and a popular destination for visitors and residents. The orange properties - White Acres and Manitou Section 16 - have just been acquired and will add 700 or so acres to the north.
