The Audio Tour of Pikes Peak
If you're inclined to learn more by listening instead of reading, consider purchasing a copy of the Audio Tour of Pikes Peak-America's Mountain.
Approximately 50 minutes in length, the audio tour presents historical, natural and geologic information about the mountain, the highway, the Cog Rail and significant events that occurred.
The audio tour is available in both CD or cassette tape, and may be purchased at the tollgate to the highway. NEW! The Audio Tour of Pikes Peak-America's Mountain can now be purchased and downloaded from the iTunes, CDBaby, Amazon.com, and many other online music sources.
The audio tour is designed to be played as you drive on the Pikes Peak Highway from the tollgate to the summit, but you can just as easily listen to it from the comfort of your living room.
