Melissa & Jack
Things To Do In ColoRADo
Garden of the Gods
A beautiful must see. One of Colorado's biggest tourist attractions
U.S. Air Force Academy
A great way to see where Jack went to college, and visit the visitors center.
Pikes Peak
Our beautiful Mountain, about a 20 minute drive. The cog railway is still under construction, however you are able to drive to a check point and ride a shuttle the rest of the way. The donuts at the top are highly recommended by the locals!
Manitou Incline
This is a Hike!!! The trail consists of .88 miles of stairs that gains 2,000 feet of elevation. However the town of Manitou (At the bottom of the incline) is a great place for souvenirs and gifts and there is a lot of historic places to see.
Cave of the Winds Mountain Park
A cool placed to visit! There is an underground cave that you can go on. They also have above ground adventures like zip lining, the Bat-A-Pult, and the Terror Dactyl (Drop Swings). In the same area as the Manitou Incline.
O’Malley’s Pub
This is Jack and Melissa's favorite place to get wings and steak! You get your steak or burger brought out to you raw and you cook it on the grill in the middle of the restaurant! It is also reasonably priced. It also is in Melissa's favorite little town of Palmer lake. A bit closer to where the wedding is at.
Downtown
There are a lot of good restaurants and places to get Colorado souvenirs. there are 3 major night clubs/dance bars, and a couple different pubs. Very alive at night. Restaurants we Recommend: The Skirted Heffer, Jose Muldoons, and Jack Quinns pub
