Things To Do
Garden of the Gods
A classic must-see for any out-of-towners
Manitou Springs Penny Arcade
We went here during Christmas of 2022 and had so much fun! Bring lots of quarters
Seven Bridges Trail
This is a really popular hike! It's beautiful, but usually very busy
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
The second-best zoo in the United States! And you cannot beat the views
Mueller State Park
We spent some wonderful time hiking in the aspens here the first year we dated. Ethan actually considered proposing to Tirzah here!
Palmer Park
A really convenient and beautiful place to hike! (The Blazis family lives right next to it too, so stop by and say hey if you can!)
Green Mountain Falls
An adorable little town that's really close to the Springs but fully in the mountains. There's a great restaurant here called the Pantry that's a wonderful lunch stop!
Quijotes Mexican Grill
THIS IS NOT CHIPOTLE :) Amazing Mexican food and we cannot recommend the breakfast burritos enough (they're super cheap and enormous). This has been a Blazis-family staple since 2012.
Acacia Park
Not necessarily the park itself, but Tejon street right next to the park has some amazing shops and restaurants. Check out Poor Richards (they have a restaurant, a cafe, a gift shop, and a game shop), Josh n' Johns Ice Cream, Pikes Peak Lemonade, Rocky Mountain Soap Market, and Cacao Chemistry!
