In 1893, an English teacher at Colorado College, Katherine Lee Bates, decided to join a group of colleagues on a trip to the top of Pike’s Peak. The beauty she saw from the top of the mountain inspired her to write “America the Beautiful.” She wrote the poem entitled Pikes Peak in a journal she carried with her on the trip.
El Paso County, Colorado still embodies the beauty that inspired one of the country’s most beloved songs. From the soaring mountains in the west to the open prairie land in the east, this is still an area that inspires artists and poets. Pike’s Peak stands majestically over the county and creates a stunning skyline, while amazing parks such as Cheyenne Mountain State Park and Garden of the Gods preserve the area’s natural landscape.
When you rent an El Paso County apartment, you’ll enjoy some of the best outdoor recreation available. Hiking, skiing, camping, fishing, rock climbing and even rafting and ballooning are all readily available. Other activities include festivals, such as the Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon and the Mountain Music Festival.
El Paso County is home to several military sites, including the US Air Force Academy, Peterson Air Force Base, Fort Carson Air Force Base, and Schriever Air Force Base. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is also located in El Paso County.
