3D print Pikes Peak and the Barr Trail
Pikes Peak on one print, with the Barr Trail raised in orange on the terrain. Open it in the generator, change the size or colors, and export a slicer-ready 3MF.
Barr Trail
- Length
- 13 mi (21 km) to the summit
- Elevation gain
- 7,800 ft (2,400 m)
- Start
- Manitou Springs
- On the print
- 19 km, as mapped in OpenStreetMap
4,302 m of mountain, 18 mm on your shelf
The print covers 21 by 22 km. On a 160 mm print the summit stands 18 mm above the valleys.
- True scale
The print opens at true scale: the mountain is as tall as it really is for the print size. Raise the Elevation multiplier for a more dramatic model.
- The trail
The Barr Trail prints as a raised 1.2 mm orange line, drawn from its OpenStreetMap route. Give it its own filament color, or turn it off on the GPX tab.
- Colors
Forest, meadow, bare rock, ice and water each get their own color where the land has them, so a multi-color printer shows where the trees give way to rock.
About Pikes Peak
Pikes Peak, also called America's Mountain, is an ultra-prominent fourteener of Colorado's Front Range. Its summit, 14,115 feet (4,302 m) above sea level, is the easternmost fourteener in the United States.
Its base is in the town of Manitou Springs, 10 miles (16 km) west of downtown Colorado Springs. The first documented hike to the top was by Edwin James on 15 July 1820.
The Barr Trail
The Barr Trail climbs 13 miles (21 km) from Manitou Springs to the summit, with 7,800 feet (2,400 m) of climbing. The Forest Service rates it more difficult, and it is the course of the Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon.
The print draws the trail from OpenStreetMap, from the town at the foot of the mountain all the way to the top.

Common questions
Is the Pikes Peak 3D print free?
Yes. The generator runs in your browser and exports a 3MF file you can open in any common slicer. There is no account or payment.
Is the Barr Trail on the print?
Yes. Print this mountain adds it from its OpenStreetMap route (19 km as mapped) and raises it on the terrain. The footprint is 21 by 22 km, centered on the summit and wide enough for all of it.
Is the mountain printed at its true height?
Yes, it starts at true scale, about 18 mm of relief on a 160 mm print. Raise the Elevation multiplier for a more dramatic model.
Can I get an STL instead of a 3MF?
The generator exports 3MF, which keeps each color as its own part. Any slicer can open it and save an STL if you need one.
