派克峰

派克峰(英语:Pikes Peak)是位于美国洛基山脉的一座山峰,也是美国最著名的山峰之一。科罗拉多州东部主要都市科罗拉多泉位于派克峰山麓。派克峰山顶有众多碳酸泉,因此发展为一个疗养地。派克峰是派克峰国际爬山赛的举办地点。派克峰山顶比美国派克峰以东所有地区都要高。

派克峰位于科罗拉多州的厄尔巴索县(El Paso County),派克国家森林(Pike National Forest)东南角,是落基山脉(Rocky Mountains)的一座前岭山峰,距离科罗拉多州第二大城市科罗拉多斯普林斯约30英里(48公里)车程,往北距离科罗拉多州的州府丹佛(Denver)约100英里(160公里)车程。

派克峰以美国探险家西布伦·派克(Zebulon Pike)的名字命名,1961年被评定为美国国家历史地标(National Historic Landmark)。派克峰海拔14,110英尺(4,302米),高出科罗拉多斯普林斯市区约8,000英尺(2,400米),是美国大陆从东海岸一直到派克峰所在的经度范围内的最高点,即从派克峰一路往东,没有比它更高的山峰了。

派克峰因便于攀登和眺望而远近闻名,峰顶面积颇大且较为平坦,建有一座名为“派克峰顶小屋(Pikes Peak Summit House)”的咖啡店。游客可以通过乘坐齿轮火车和公路很容易的到达峰顶,具体前往方式为:

  • 齿轮火车:派克峰齿轮铁路(Pikes Peak Cog Railway)有着超过125年历史,出发站位于科罗拉多斯普林斯西郊的曼尼通普林斯(Manitou Springs),地址为:515 Ruxton Ave, Manitou Springs, CO 80829(注:2018年后无限期关闭整修,预计将于2021年重新开放)
  • 收费公路:派克峰公路(Pikes Peak Hwy)是一条收费公路,长19公里,入口在卡斯凯德(Cascade),以弯道多、坡度大著称,不论是上山下山,对司机经验和汽车性能都是一大考验,虽然如此,但沿途的美景和派克峰顶上那一望无际辽阔的景色,还是让许多人趋之若鹜。此外骑自行车也可以使用此公路,路旁还有很多野餐区可供随时停下修整,开放时间:如果天气状况许可,除了感恩节和圣诞节之外,派克峰公路每日开放,费用:夏季(5月-9月)成人:15美元/人,儿童(6-15岁):5美元/人;冬季(10月-4月)成人:10美元/人,儿童(6-15岁):5美元/人[1]

此外,派克峰还是派克峰国际爬山赛(Pikes Peak International Hill Climb,PPIHC)的举办场地,派克峰国际爬山赛每年七月举办,是全世界比赛场地海拔最高、车辆性能水准也最高的越野赛车活动之一,首度举办于1916年,除了偶尔几年曾因为战争等因素停办之外,一直持续至今,是美国历史第二悠久的车辆竞赛活动,仅次于每年在印第安纳波利斯(Indianapolis)所举行的印第500大赛(Indianapolis 500)。
