THE PIKES PEAK REGION’S

OUR FRONT
RANGE FAVES

At 14,115 feet in elevation, your perfect family


adventure starts here.
Once you’re here, you won’t believe all of the amazing
things there are to see and do around the region. From
soaring, adrenaline-pumping adventures, to relaxing
natural wonders, you are sure to be inspired in ways you
will never forget.

The same natural forces that gave us Pikes Peak and the
Rocky Mountains, gave us deep gorges, cascading waterfalls
and towering red sandstone formations. If you are looking
for a place to cure your nature deficiency, look no further
than Colorado Springs and its surrounding areas.

The “Spirit of the West” is alive and thriving. Visit one of


our quaint historic districts to enjoy great galleries, food,
shopping and fine art museums. If you prefer to experience
the west first-hand, there are opportunities to go deep into
caves and mines, climb aboard 100-year-old trains or ride
across the landscape on horseback.

Whether you’re traveling with the family or a few close


friends, the Pikes Peak region has so much to see and do.
Both thrill seekers and chill chasers alike will find those
once-in-a-lifetime experiences that will keep you coming
back year after year.

Welcome to your new favorite place.

There are lots of great adventures for your pet, too!


Dog-friendly attractions are marked with a paw print.

Home to many geological wonders, the Pikes


Peak region is filled with incredible and
unique rock formations that you can climb,
explore and photograph. Free permits are
usually required.

With numerous destinations to choose from


like Garden of the Gods Park, Red Rock
Canyon Open Space and North Cheyenne
Cañon, you will have endless rock-solid
selfie opportunities and adventures to
remember your visit to Colorado Springs.

Drive it, horseback ride it, climb it and hike it


at Garden of the Gods Park, the number one
“must-see” park in the country. Grab a map
at the Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature
Center, because trails and rocks traverse this
park at every turn.

Defined by a series of ridged red rock


formations, Red Rock Canyon Open Space
is a beautiful area filled with biking trails,
climbing areas and mild-to-wild hikes.
Trek the many trails leading up to the
magnificent bedrocks overlooking the city.

Filled with evergreen trees and sky-high rock


formations, North Cheyenne Cañon offers a
scenic journey through Pike National Forest.
Drive along the winding mountain road,
hike the trails adjacent to the rocks and
check out Helen Hunt Falls cascading down
the canyon. The view is amazing and well
worth the short hike to capture a rockin’
Colorado photo.

Located in the center of Colorado Springs,


Palmer Park has activities for any taste.
With numerous geological points of interest,
you can picnic after a mountain bike ride
through the park, stroll along the multiple
trails and climb over the rocky areas. Not the
outdoorsy type, but still want to rock climb?
Get your belay on at City Rock, located in
Downtown Colorado Springs.

GREAT FOR
BEGINNERS
Be aware that climbing any rock
formation requires proper equipment and
free online registration with the City of
Colorado Springs (coloradosprings.gov/
rock-climbing). Going up without equip-
ment may look easy, but getting down is
where it gets tricky!

A TRAVELER’S GUIDE TO A [MOSTLY] TECH-FREE VACATION

VisitCOS.com // Pikes-Peak.com 35
Taking time off to travel is good for you. It gives you a chance to
refresh, relax and reenergize. It allows you time to learn new things,
have new experiences and create new memories with friends and
family. But truly getting away is getting harder to do with mobile
devices and our reluctance to put them down.

Keeping up with texts, social media, emails, Snapchat and 24/7 news
is exhausting and doesn’t always enhance our brains, relationships
and productivity. When visiting Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak
region, consider scheduling periods of time when you purposely
disconnect from the digital universe and become present in the
moment to enjoy all that this beautiful area has to offer.

The essence of the Pikes Peak region is vitality with an emphasis


on activities that stimulate the mind, body and soul. Visit the Paint
Mines Interpretive Park, 750 gently rolling acres to the east of
Colorado Springs with evidence of human life from 9,000 years ago. One of the most popular activities in Colorado is whitewater rafting
