If it is your first time in COS this is a must visit! Lots of easy trails/paths for a walk and beautiful red rocks! (Drew proposed with this as our backdrop)
A relatively easy hike in town (and where Drew first asked Lauren to be his girlfriend)
A fun hike in town, a bit easier for kids (but still be aware of altitude!)
Lots of great hikes right in the middle of town!
One of Lauren's favorite hikes (but also very challenging!)
An interesting arcade with some fun vintage games!
Colorado Springs is known as "Olympic City USA" and has lots of cool olympic things here including this museum. You can also take a tour of the Olympic Training Facility on Boulder Street.
Great coffee, even better eggs on toast!
A coffee shop that Lauren (and Drew) walk to from Lauren's house. The owners are the best. And Lauren was a baker here for a brief stint making sooo many scones!
Another local favorite coffee shop
The only (actually) great coffee shop close to Drew's house
The best chocolate chip cookies in town
Lauren is obsessed with the breakfast burritos with plantains, Drew prefers the ones with birria.
One of Lauren's favorite restaurants in town. If you go, get the chilaquiles salvadorenos, anything else will be disappointing.
A fun and very hip ramen bar
An old elementary school that has been converted into a food hall. If you are an IPA drinker try the "World Peace Death Ray" from Bristol, Drew designed the label for it!
Another multi vendor food hall (one of the best spots in there is Anju, a Korean fusion restaurant)
A go to (and also a fav) since is so close to Lauren's house
A great spot to enjoy a beer on a nice day
Tasty cocktails in a slightly more hidden back alley.
A very hip speakeasy bar
A favorite local cocktail bar because of their rotating themes
This is where Drew, Lauren and the kids go to church. You should check it out if you're here for a Sunday!
