Things To Do
Garden of the Gods
A must see! Even if you just drive through, it is absolutely stunning. There are plenty of trails for all levels, different parking areas to enjoy the views, this park has something for everyone.
Manitou Springs
Cute little mountain town at the base of pikes peak. Great place to walk around, do some tourist shopping, and grab a coffee or lunch.
Manitou Incline
Not for the faint of heart! This is a set of stairs that goes straight uphill for one mile... There are a few different 'exit' points where you can loop back around on a trail, or you can just turn around and go back down the stairs. Make sure you read the website if you are actually thinking of doing this.

Colorado College
This is where Chris coaches! Worth driving by and seeing the beautiful campus.
Seven Bridges Trail
Beautiful hiking trail that follows a stream with, you guessed it, 7 bridges. Great 'mountain' trail that is challenging but accessible.
Gold Camp Road
Cool drive on a dirt road overlooking Colorado Springs. The drive has plenty of pull-offs with incredible views and takes you through a couple of different tunnels.
Ivywild School
Cool old elementary school that has been converted into a marketplace with food, breweries, and shops.
