Things To Do
Garden of the Gods
Rachel grew up only a 5 minute drive from these magnificent red rocks! Head to the Trading Post inside the park for a juicy bison burger!
Pikes Peak
Whether you hike up, drive the Pikes Peak highway, or take the Cog Railway to the top, the views are indescribable on this 14,115 foot peak! Bonus: how many times has Rachel (successfully lol) hiked this mountain?
Switchback Coffee Roasters - Shooks Run
An iced chai and lavender matcha are the perfect remedies for a hot, sunny day! Switchback has been our go-to local coffeeshop and lots of wedding planning has happened in this special little building.
Sushi Spot
We have unashamedly become regulars at Sushi Spot and needless to say, each roll will keep you coming back for more! Make sure to say hi to our friend, Yonik, if he has the pleasure of serving you!
RoadHouse Cinemas
If you have some more down time while you're here, seeing a film at Roadhouse is incredible! Birria quesadillas, cantina bowls, waffle fries, and gourmet popcorn are just some of the delicious options to enjoy while watching your favorite movie!
Palmer Lake Regional Recreation Area
We both love to paddle board at this lake! With a 180 degree view of the mountains, spending time here is unbeatable!
Rock House Ice Cream Candy and More
We LOVE getting ice cream here after a long day in the sun at Palmer Lake! Can you guess which flavors we get?
