Zebulon Pike impacted Colorado today by discovering Pike's Peak so that we know that we have a special moutain that only Colorado has. Therefore we can do many things with it. Like we can get our water from the mountain, we can have a trail so that we could explore the mountain (like Zebulon pike did), or we could plant trees to also save the environment. All those things are possible because of Zebulon Pike. ||  ||
