About Colorado Springs


The adventure begins at Colorado Springs, considering the city has everything from zip-lining tours to hiking. Since the temperatures stay average throughout the year, there’s something to do in all seasons, especially in the Rocky Mountains.

Pikes Peak is an iconic landmark in the city that can be enjoyed by anyone with a car. Alternatively, the Manitou & Pikes Peak Cog Railway, which is the world’s highest cog railway, also takes visitors up the peak.

Speaking of peaks, the Garden of the Gods is another attraction in the city, containing weirdly shaped sandstone formations that are estimated to be there for about 300 million years. The activities in the park include rock climbing, biking, hiking, and horse riding, along with going to the visitor’s center, where visitors can learn about the formations.
