Katherine & Brodie’s Wedding
Things To Do
Broadmoor Hotel
There are somethings that non-paying guests can do at this hotel. Very cool to visit, get lunch and a drink, beautiful grounds to tour, get spa treatments, view art collections inside, or take guided tours.
Garden of the Gods
The park is free! They have free parking and paved walking paths. You can take guided tours on electric bikes, segways, or jeeps driven by a guide.
The Broadmoor Seven Falls
You do need to reserve tickets before hand. A shuttle takes you to the start of the hike. A big tourist attraction because it's gorgeous!
Manitou Incline
Brodie proposed at the top of this hike :) Not for the faint of heart. Get cleared by your doctor, give yourself a few days after that open bar, and make sure you're acclimated to the elevation. Also bring your own water!
Pikes Peak
Get the whole view! You can drive, hike, get tickets for a shuttle to the top, or take the Cog Railway (https://www.cograilway.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvbm7BhC5ARIsAFjwNHsgJ_GfyxWC6tuotN_V0qDE-hlFYLg7ixqEL1Af-Iw5NiOPY4Z96UIaAjy3EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds)
