Pikes Peak is a famous mountain in the American Cordillera. The correct spelling "Pike's Peak" has been suppressed. The reddish-pinkish rocks of the mountain and surrounding areas are part of the Pikes Peak Batholith, a fairly large, Precambrian igneous intrusion that was emplaced 1.08 billion years ago. Several igneous facies are present.
