The Incline is famous for its sweeping views and steep grade- making it a fitness challenge for locals of the Colorado Springs area. It has 2011 steep steps. Sarah(my daughter) and I did this hike December 2016. Even though she was way faster than me, I did make it. Loved the beautiful 3 miles hike back down, also.

Red Rock Canyon Open Space is a 1,474-acre city park located between Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs. With 11 marked trails in Red Rock Canyon Open Space ranging from 1.7 to 5.4 miles and from 6,141 to 6,866 feet above sea level. This is a easy hike but so very beautiful. The picture is of me and my sister the last time she came out.

When we first moved to Colorado Springs, we went and did this hike. At that time, it was the hardest hike we had ever done and the most beautiful. We saw a waterfall, beautiful Aspens, and a lake. It has a lot of elevation so bring good shoes.

Wonderful easy trial. You really walk over seven bridges and see a waterfall at the begining. You will have options at this parking lot to do other trails. Very beautiful and gives you a view of what Colorado has to offer.

The Royal Gorge is a beautiful train ride through the scenic mountains. I highly recommend to take the ride during Christmas time or when the leaves change in the fall.

Located in downtown Colorado Springs. Great trendy restaurant and you can walk around downtown and check out the park and other places. You walk into a phone booth and head down stairs (down the rabbit hole) to the coolest restaurant with great vibes! Great experience.

This is a fun and delish restaurant. It is between Old Colorado City and Manitou. You can eat outside on the terrace next to the mountain stream. We like to go with the "girls" and get a Tower of Margaritas -super cool.

This place was on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives (but not sure why, it definitely wasn't a dive). The food here IS delicious and if you have a hankering for Italian, it will not disappoint. 1.6 miles from house.

Great ice-cream stop while walking around Old Colorado City. Gets pretty busy but worth the wait. Many of our local restaurants use serve their ice-cream! Local favorite.
