About Pikes Peak Heritage Series
At El Pomar, just as Spencer and Julie Penrose relished, we have the joy of spending our days in the shadow of Pikes Peak. We also know there’s always more to learn about the natural assets of the region surrounding America’s Mountain. In keeping with the Penroses’ interest in supporting and promoting the natural assets of the area, in 2015 we launched the Pikes Peak Heritage Series to celebrate, educate about, and explore the beautiful environment of the region through lectures, discussions, and opportunities to connect with outdoor and land use leaders.
