This rustic "1930 Zebulon Pike Cabin" on Coal Creek with 1 bedroom and 1 sleeper sofa and mountain views honors the Western America explorer Zebulon Pike who joined the United States Army at age 15 and with a group of soldiers set out in hopes of finding the source of the Arkansas River. Along the way, he noticed “a small blue cloud” in the distance. Eager to explore what he saw, he traveled until he reached the base of a mountain that would be called Pikes Peak. After Zebulon Pike’s death and the discovery of gold in Colorado, “Pike’s Peak or Bust” became the slogan of all those headed West in hopes of fame and fortune.
