06.27.22 Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas

No, I haven’t started traveling again, I wish!

A friend mentioned she and her husband want to go to Colorado Springs. I told her I would send links to the posts I published back in 2015 and 2017 of all the things we visited while in one of our favorite states of Colorado. While putting together this list of links I thought I’d post them here for others who might be interested in the same information to help in planning a vacation to Colorado.

Here are links to blog posts I wrote about things we saw in and around Colorado Springs in two different years. This may seem like a lot but in total we spent 6 weeks in Colorado Springs and the areas around that.

My top favorite things were both automobile trips and the ride on the COG Railway up and down Pike’s Peak, both trips to Santa’s Village, Magic Town, the gold mines, and the football and baseball stadium tours. Everything else was wonderful too but if your time is limited I’d do those. I wrote about the RV Resorts we stayed in but those probably wouldn’t interest ya’ll unless you live in an RV like we did.
