This row of 3 awesome restaurants in the middle of downtown Colorado Springs is to die for. We absolutely LOVE Denver Biscuit Co, and the other 2 are also worth trying! This would be a great place to eat at when you fly in, or when you head out!
This is one of the coolest breweries located in downtown Pueblo! The mesa building is a cool view, and their beer is great! If you love trying craft beer, like most Colorado Natives do, check this place out for some good brews.
Be sure to call the number listed before driving up to the top of Pikes Peak for weather conditions and road closures. There is a neat Cog Railway you can buy tickets for ahead of time in Manitou and make your way to the top of Pikes Peak without the drive. Be sure to check this one out!
Definitely check out the Manitou Springs area! From the Cliff Dwellings, to the Manitou Incline (not an easy hike for out of towners), you will find some neat and definitely different types of things to do and see! It is closer to the Airport, so could be something you do on your way out of town.
This is by far one of the coolest things to see if you make your stay longer in Colorado. It is about 2 hour and 15 minute drive from the Ranch, but extremely worth it since you're on the south end of Colorado!
