15 Best Things To Do in Colorado Springs, Colorado

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.
