What To Do In Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs is the state's second largest city and from its founding it has boasted a beautiful climate and culture. Nestled at the foot of Pikes Peak, it's still possible to hike to the top of the 14,000 foot summit or take the Cog Railway up to catch the view. The city continues to offer a wide range of cultural activities from orchestra to opera and performing arts. If you are looking for nature head to the Garden of the Gods, a city park in the foothills of Pikes Peak with beautiful red rock formations.
Here visitors can enjoy hiking, biking, birding, backpacking, trail walking, rock climbing, rappelling, a scenic drive and wildlife viewing. The park offers free admission and many unique opportunities. When you've finished with all that outdoor activity enjoy some delicious local Colorado fare and artisan beer. The state boasts over 120 craft breweries and wineries. Hit up local legend Dorothy Russell's homemade tamales, as featured on the Food Network, they are as authentic as it gets with a special two-day process to get delicious results!
