Adaman Club Fireworks

    While ringing in the New Year, be sure to get a good seat for the annual Pikes Peak firework show.

     Since 1922, climbers have navigated the slopes in order to deliver spectacular firework shows that “can be seen for hundreds of miles along the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies and eastern plains,” according to the Visit Colorado Springs website.

    The fireworks show will commence at midnight on Dec. 31. Viewing is free to the public, and if it is a clear night, you could view the show from your own backyard.
