Things To Do
Red Rock Canyon Open Space
The couples FAVORITE place to hike. With 700+ acres of trails for any level of hiker, the views from here rival any in the world. Be sure to try to find the quarry and the reservoir! This open space is what helped convince Ally and Nick to make Colorado Springs their home.
Garden of the Gods
Use the website above to make sure its not a "car free" day before you visit. Although there is a paved trail in the main garden, good for all levels of hikers, our favorite trail is the Siamese Twin Loop off one of the pull offs near the Trading Post.
Cave of the Winds Mountain Park
This mountain adventure park offers cave tours, ziplining and an obstacle course not for the faint of heart. Must book cave tours ahead of time! Great for adrenaline junky kids and adults :)
Pulpit Rock Park
Looking for a great, easily accessible hike with great views? Pulpit rock is an easier trail for those adjusting to altitude and right near town.
Bingo Burger - Colorado Springs
The family owned burger joint. Nick's home away from home. Ally's uncle and aunt started Bingo Burger at the Pueblo location back in 2008, and it has been making some on the best burgers Colorado has to offer since. Don't miss the loaded tots and the boozy (or not) shakes!
Story Coffee Company
Need Caffeine?? Don't miss your chance to get coffee out of a tiny house! Nick frequents this shop daily. Owners Don and Carissa are awesome humans- so give them your money, not Starbucks!!
Shuga's
Need a cocktail or a snack? Shuga's is a quirky local spot that offers clean and fresh lunch bites! Don't miss the Bruschetta trifecta or any cocktail with lavender in it, says Ally.
Lucky Dumpling
Craving some Top Chef style food? Brother Luck's newest concept. Yummy dumplings and other asian fusion food in a funky and hip environment.
