The Ridgecrest Scenic Overlook offers a stunning view of Pikes Peak from the Rampart Range near Colorado Springs. It's a great spot to snap some pics, have a picnic, and soak in the scenery. The overlook was built in the 1930s by CCC workers and is part of the Rampart Range Road, a gravel road that runs through Pike National Forest. Nearby attractions include Rampart Reservoir for camping, boating, and hiking. Plus, there are some cool trails like Rainbow Gulch Trail for those looking to stretch their legs. So, if you're up for a scenic adventure with a side of history, Ridgecrest Scenic Overlook is the place to be!
