Located
near Colorado Springs, CO. the majestic 14,110 foot (4301 meter) Pikes Peak, one
of 54 mountains in the state over 14,000 feet in elevation, was named after
early southwestern explorer Zebulon Pike. Due to it's natural beauty the Pikes
Peak region has attracted many travelers. In the summer of 1893 Katharine Lee
Bates, a professor of English at Wellesley College, took a carriage trip to the
summit. It was from this experience of seeing the incredible views that inspired
her to write the lyrics to the beloved song, "America the Beautiful".
This magnificent and beautifully framed depiction captures on canvas the essence
of what Ms. Bates and countless others have experienced in the presence of this
spectacular peak.  |
