Definitely an iconic part of Colorado Springs. You can drive or hike through and visit the visitors center too!
There's the option to drive up with an entrance fee per car or you can take the newly renovated Cog Railway. The visitors center at the top was recently renovated in the past couple years and now has more food options and a musuem!
A drive east from Colorado Springs, but so cool! See the pink, cream, and orange "hoodoos" there!
Another well-known part of the Springs. The zoo is located on the mountain with an amazing view of the city!
The infamous 5 star hotel in Colorado Springs that is home to a luxury hotel stay and a variety of restaurants. You can walk around (no hotel reservation required) and grab a coffee while you're there. This is where the Debutante ball was held!
This is where Matt proposed! He proposed on the Royal Gorge Train on New Years Eve, 2021. If you're looking for a day trip activity, the hour long drive to Cañon City is worth it! The park has a variety of activities and the train has food and drink options as well.
