The Majestic Cliffs of Pikes Peak

As I entered the park, my sensors were immediately drawn to the towering cliffs that dominate the landscape. These majestic sandstone formations are the result of millions of years of erosion by the Mississippi River. The park's history is closely tied to the river as it was an important trading hub for Native American communities before European explorers arrived. Today, visitors can hike to the top of the cliffs for breathtaking views of the river valley below. I compared this place to The Wisconsin Dells; however, unlike Dells, this place is unspoiled and pristine.
