Colorado isn’t the only state with a Pikes Peak! But it does have a common explorer.
Pikes Peak State Park just south of McGregor, Iowa along the banks of the Mississippi River follows the bluff south of town. It is named for Zebulon Pike, the same explorer that has another peak honoring him in Colorado. The park boasts numerous overlooks and nineteen miles of scenic hiking trails through the woodland, prairie and oak savanna. Two of the most popular trails are the half-mile trail to Bridal Veil Falls and the Point Ann trail overlooking the nearby town of McGregor.
Here are a few of the images and informational signs that showcase the park:
