Things To Do
Pikes Peak
Pikes Peak is the highest summit of the southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, in North America. The ultra-prominent 14,115-foot fourteener is located in Pike National Forest, 12 miles west of downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado. It's a beautiful drive and the best part is that you can see where Marco proposed! Or, if you don't want to drive up a mountain, you can ride up on the Cog Railway!
Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center
This is a beautiful place located in Colorado Springs. You can drive through, park and hike or just walk around the loop, visit the visitor center and gift shops, and possibly see some wild life!
Denver
The city and capital of Colorado. If you're more into city life, than Denver is the place for you! We recommend 16th St. Mall!
North Cheyenne Cañon Park
Waterfalls, hiking and More! Cheyenne Mountain zoo is also close by and is always a fun option!
Manitou Springs
Manitou Springs is a quirky, slightly hippy, mountain town close to Garden of the God's. From there you can do the Incline (if you're brave enough to face the altitude and push your physical limits), the Cliff Dwellings and Cave of the Winds. If you walk around the town there is a restaurant called Hell's Kitchen Pizza and it's totally worth stopping by!
Woodland Park
A small mountain town without going too far. There's a dinosaur museum, donuts shop, coffee shop, and so much more!
Wayfinder Coffee Co.
If you're like me and love your coffee and like to visit a local coffee shop everywhere you visit then here's one to try! Wayfinder coffee, one of the newest coffee shops in town, is my favorite and right down the street from my house too!
Loyal Coffee
If you're like me and love your coffee and like to visit a local coffee shop everywhere you visit then here's one to try! This is closer to the venue and it's right next to the bridal salon where I got my dress! If you decide to go to Downtown Colorado Springs they have another location there as well!
Kairos Coffee House
If you're like me and love your coffee and like to visit a local coffee shop everywhere you visit then here's one to try! If you go to Garden of the God's this coffee shop is on the way and is a nice place to just sit and chill!
Dutch Bros Coffee
If you're looking for something more convenient and hip I suggest skipping all the Starbucks and going to Dutch Bro's instead!
Monse's Pupuseria
Monse's has the best pupusas in town and they're Marco's favorite!
The Skirted Heifer
If you like burgers this is the place for you! They also have the best lemonade!
Pikes Poke Bowl
Delicous poke!
New China Kitchen 2
Delicous Chinese food! They also do take out and delivery!
