Pikes Peak? edit

Is there a reason Pikes Peak isn't considered to be part of the Rampart Range? It would clearly be the highest mountain. I can't find anything truly authoritative that defines the Rampart Range, but Rampart Range Rd starts near Garden of the Gods and I've always been told by locals in Colorado Springs that the Rampart Range is the range next to Colorado Springs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TurtlePerson2 (talkcontribs) 21:54, 9 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

I just expanded the article to provide more detail on the boundaries per USGS and others. References are now included in the article. To more directly address your question: per the references, the southern boundary of the Rampart Range runs from Manitou Springs northwest to Woodland Park. So, yes, Garden of the Gods would be in the Rampart Range. Zapus (talk) 00:40, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
