Pikes Peak (Missouri)

Pikes Peak is a summit in Ste. Genevieve County in the U.S. state of Missouri. The peak has an elevation of 722 feet (220 m).[1]

The peak lies about two miles southwest of Bloomsdale and I-55. The peak is the high point of a complex ridge between Coots Creek and Carpenter Branch extending to the Fourche a Du Clos on the southwest side of Bloomsdale.[2]

Pikes Peak most likely takes its name from the taller Pikes Peak, in the Rocky Mountains.[3]
