Summit House on Pike's Peak - Colorado Springs, CO - Postcard, c. 1920s
(5 1/2 x 3 1/2 In) This is an original vintage Sanborn Souvenir Co. postcard from the 1920s. It shows a view of the "Famous Summit House on New Years Eve" on the Summit of Pikes Peak, Alt. 14,109 Ft., Colorado Springs, CO.
"One of the most famous "stunts" enacted in Colorado is the annual hike of the AdAmAn Club of Colorado Springs to the Summit of Pikes Peak in the dead of winter to initiate one new man in the club and set off a vast pyrotechnic display from the summit at midnight on New-year's eve. One may try to imagine the appearance of Colorado's lofty places locked in the grip of winter, but it is hard to realize."
The postcard is unused and is in VERY GOOD condition, light wear at the edges, blunted corner tips.
