Welcome to Pikes Peak Outdoors! Regional outdoor recreation partnership for the Pikes Peak region.

Building a stronger outdoor economy and connected outdoor community. Who We Are

PIKES PEAK OUTDOOR RECREATION ALLIANCE is an initiative to make the incredible natural and recreation assets of the Pikes Peak area an economic driver for our region. Led by a partnership between the Colorado Springs Regional Business Alliance and the Colorado Springs Convention & Visitors Bureau, Outdoor Industry Leaders, businesses, and non-profits. The effort aims to increase our outdoor amenities, create better access to recreational areas, and promote greater participation in outdoor activities. Health and quality of life are now key determining factors in where people and businesses choose to locate. Our outdoor recreation opportunities can compete with any in the country, and are attracting participants from all 50 states and other countries. We are looking for key stakeholders who would like to shape the future of Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region creating a unified voice for our community and our most valuable resource-THE OUTDOORS.
