Fall has just begun and Pikes Peak is giving way to the warmer temperatures and received its first round of accumulating snow on the 14,115-foot summit on Wednesday afternoon.

While it wasn’t measurable, some live cameras on top of Pikes Peak showed the light dusting.

It’s typical for America’s Mountain to see the first snowfall in late September into October. With 33-degree temperatures recorded by the National Weather service around 6 p.m. and enough moisture in the atmosphere with showers happening in the lower elevations, it was just enough of the right conditions for it to happen on September 23, 2026.
