About Us

This website, pikespeakoutdoors.org, is a collaborative effort of the outdoor industry in the Pikes Peak region, led by the Pikes Peak Outdoor Recreation Alliance (PPORA). For purposes of this website, the Pikes Peak region refers loosely to El Paso, Teller, and Fremont counties in Colorado, south of Denver.

Our goal with this community website is to provide helpful information to both locals and visitors who want to get outside and enjoy recreational activities in our region. We designed it to be a hub for all things outdoors in the area with contributions from many outdoor partners. We want this to be a valuable resource that you’ll come back to time after time.

Some of the unique features you’ll find in this site include content written by local outdoorists and businesses. We loaded numerous resources, such as groups to connect with and blogs to read, to help you dive deeper into your enjoyment of the outdoors. And throughout the site, we aim to educate you in best practices for recreating responsibly and stewarding our natural resources.

This website is developed and managed by the Pikes Peak Outdoor Recreation Alliance (PPORA) and made possible through our funding partners including the City of Colorado Springs Lodging and Automobile Rental Tax (LART) and Visit Colorado Springs.
