Its Ute name was Tava, "Mountain of the Sun," and was sacred to the Tabeguache band, "People of Sun Mountain." I grew up with the view everyday and didn't know its real name until just a few years ago. More people should know.

Hiked it , drove it, and now as an old man took the railway- this visitor from NYC is impressed with the beauty of this mountain

I've been all over Colorado. Colorado is so beautiful I live in Cincy oh. I would move there if I could take my family. Stayed at the bottom of pikes peak in Colorado springs. Just stunningly beautiful. They landscape with boulders and rocks where we have mulch. I just love it. We visited the park. Didn't go real far in but still loved it!

@jacobhamilton4888 5 лет назад

Pikes Peak is stunning. The pictures don't do it justice: it's massive.

Good morning Cliff Langston, I have had the very good fortune to start reading Emmet FOX in 2003, a truly remarquable Gentleman, Harmony builder and Pionner of both South - North America and around the World. He has really introduced me to the United States of America and taught me most everything I've come to know about ranches, country music, among them Gold rush and Pikes peak (or bust). I have read "Emmet FOX Golden keys to successful living" written by Herman WOLHORN his close associate. And I wanna thank you naturally Cliff for the superb photographs and History work you are sharing with us

I lived on the peak in 1980 for 3 weeks as a test subject for the United States Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM). It was quite an experience.

@nate649 3 года назад

Was it in the Army shack at the top? I was at the peak just two months ago and noticed a small building with signs designating as an Army installation.

Been to the top of Pikes Peak several times. Great job giving its history. And congrats on 10k!

@ThatWasHistory 6 лет назад

Thanks! It was exciting to finally pass 10k. We really enjoyed our time in Colorado. It’s impressive how much history surrounds Pikes Peak.

I'm watching this after discovering that Zebulon Pike is my 5th cousin on my Grandma's side, I was really surprised cuz I'm not even American. My family basically went to America nearly 300 years ago and left about 150 years ago and came here to Great Britain.

@stephaniesanders830 5 лет назад

Thanks for making this video. I'm going to show it to my 5th graders in my music classes as I talk about the history of the song "America the Beautiful".

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing it with your students.

Grew up in CS and Pikes Peak was my front yard. It’s a beautiful mountain. Now I’m hearing some idiots want to change the name.

@mikeypotts4732 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing. Had a dream I was in a forest watching people and animals get along. I was in an open cabin or something. At the very end I heard “Tava Kata, or “Tava Chata” and knew it was something to do with an indigenous tribe. On a search for any meaning if any, dreams are strange.

@watchingponies 6 лет назад

Very informative, nice video. Wish i went there while visiting Denver briefly. Would've been just a little detour. Utah & Colorado are awesome. Thanks !

@ThatWasHistory 6 лет назад

We agree! Our trip to Colorado was great. Haven’t had a chance to make it to Utah yet, but maybe one day we will. Thanks for watching!

@itzpro5951 6 лет назад

Pikes peak is not in Denver its in Colorado Springs

@watchingponies 6 лет назад

True. But it's only a 2 hour drive. No biggie for Americans and Euros on vacation.

@watchingponies 6 лет назад

Utah is awesome as well. Very diverse in landscaping. Utah & Colorado need more love from foreign travelers. Stop going to Florida and Cali or Las Vegas. There are a billion things more in the US. I love these kind of vids.

@Starius2 6 лет назад

you know.... I see yall WERE NOT INACTIVE. Yet i never ever get your vidso n my subs list. I even have that dang bell button pressed for yall.

@ThatWasHistory 6 лет назад

Hey Starius. Good to hear from you! I’ve heard other youtubers complain about this issue also. Apparently their subscribers weren’t receiving notifications regardless of their settings. The only thing I’d know to check is whether your bell settings are on “always notify” or “occasionally notify.” If that’s correct for you already, then I’m not sure. We’re ultimately at the mercy of the RU-vid gods. 😂

@adamw5805 6 лет назад

Dr Edwin James was def not the first person to reach the summit lol...although he was the first “recorded” one.

@ThatWasHistory 6 лет назад

No doubt. That's why we made sure to include that keyword. There's no telling how many people climbed the mountain without documenting it. Thanks for commenting!
