At the summit of Pikes Peak,
Katharine Lee Bates was inspired to pen the lines to her most famous
poem, "America the Beautiful." She was overwhelmed by the
sights of vast, open skies, planted fields, and the majestic Rocky
Mountains.
The video camera and the weather station for the Pikes Peak Cam™ World Wide Web Page is mounted on the roof of the Softronics headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colorado. From Softronics, the summit is approximately 15 miles away. The video camera for the Pikes Peak Cam™ Web Page runs during daylight hours, and the image is updated approximately once a minute with the weather updated every five minutes. |
