Cheyenne Mountain is a prominent geological landmark located southwest of downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado. It consists of a triple-peaked mountain in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains and serves both recreational and military purposes. The mountain is famously home to the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, an underground military installation built during the Cold War, which today operates as an alternate command center for NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) and the U.S. Space Force.

Cheyenne Mountain covers an area that hosts several attractions, including the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun, and Cheyenne Mountain State Park. The region is known for its outdoor activities, with hiking, biking, and wildlife viewing among its most popular offerings.
