Colorado Springs is a vibrant city nestled at the base of Pikes Peak, surrounded by rugged red rock formations, towering mountains, and crystal-clear streams. Known as “Olympic City USA” and the heart of Colorado’s Front Range, it offers a blend of natural beauty, Western heritage, and modern amenities. From world-class outdoor adventures to historic landmarks and award-winning dining, Colorado Springs is a dream destination. Local Attractions Garden of the Gods is a registered National Natural Landmark featuring towering sandstone formations that have stood for more than 300 million years. Free to enter, the park offers paved walking trails, jeep tours, rock climbing, and some of the most photographed views in Colorado, all set against the dramatic backdrop of Pikes Peak. Pikes Peak, known as America’s Mountain, rises more than 14,000 feet and was the inspiration behind “America the Beautiful.” Visitors can reach the summit via the historic Manitou & Pikes Peak Cog Railway, the highest cog railroad in North America. At the summit, visitors take in breath-taking views while enjoying “high altitude” donuts at the newly redesigned Summit House. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is America’s only mountain zoo, perched at 6,800 feet. Home to more than 750 animals, the zoo is best known for its giraffe herd—the largest of any zoo in the world—and the unforgettable experience of hand-feeding them. Old Colorado City, the original 1859 territorial capital of Colorado, retains its Old West charm with brick-paved streets lined by boutique shops, art galleries, and locally owned restaurants. It’s the perfect place to spend an afternoon browsing, dining, and soaking up Colorado history. The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum celebrates Team USA athletes through interactive exhibits, immersive theater experiences, and inspiring stories of Olympic and Paralympic excellence. Visitors can compete in a virtual ski slalom, test their reaction time against world-class sprinters, and walk through a tribute to medal-winning Americans. Manitou Springs, just a short drive from The Broadmoor, is a designated National Historic District filled with eclectic shops, naturally carbonated mineral springs, and the famous Manitou Incline, a steep, one-mile staircase climb that rises nearly 2,000 feet for a very rewarding workout view. Seven Falls, owned by The Broadmoor, features a stunning series of seven cascading waterfalls tucked deep in a granite canyon. Climb the 224-step staircase for views from the top, hike the Inspiration Point or Midnight Falls trails, or dine at Restaurant 1858, nestled at the base of the falls.
