America's Mountain
Series Info & Airtimes
 
America's Mountain An unforgettable journey to Pikes Peak! Pikes Peak has drawn people to it since the earliest days of the Frontier. It has become an icon of the West. America's Mountain presents an affectionate history of Pikes Peak, which is not the country's highest but is perhaps its most famous mountain. From the time of the earliest Ute to the 19th century prospector to the present-day tourist, Pikes Peak has beckoned. This light-hearted glimpse of the Pikes Peak region captures that odd combination of beauty and folly that has made it more than merely a mountain – but a microcosm of America.
