Unbeatable scenery whether you drive it, walk a paved path, or hike a trail. If you see one local spot, this should be it!

Great trails and fields along Monument Valley Creek. If you want to skip the tourists, this is where the downtown locals walk, run and bike for a quickie.

Really great views of the mountains and close up views as you hike among red sandstone outcroppings on this maze of trails. Convenient to Highway 24 between Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs and a lot more reasonable on your body than the Manitou Incline.

This easy to drive through park in the mountains offers mountain hikes, streams, locally famous falls, picnic spots, and a nature center. Our favorite hike is Cutler Trail. You'll be rewarded with views over Colorado Springs and Helen Hunt Falls. Pack a picnic and choose a secluded point at the top.

Great wood-oven pizza, local craft beer, and decent wines. Quick and good value for a downtown dining experience. We love the combo with pizza and salad.

We've taken a family group here and everyone has loved their dish. Quirky, comfort food. My fave is the bison poutine made with the waffle fries. It may be on the appetizer menu, but it's a big meal. Share it if you're with someone nice!

This English pub is owned by the Broadmoor Hotel, offers traditional pub fare and piano sing-a-longs. It's across the street from this landmark 5-star resort, and is a good way to experience it without breaking the bank. Pop across the street to walk through the grand lobby and around lake on the interior grounds.

I always take visitors here after a trip through Garden of the Gods. The building is an original trading post. Yes, some of the stock is touristy, but, hey, you're a tourist, right? You'll enjoy looking around, having a cup of hot chocolate or maybe even a buffalo burger if you've worked up an appetite with all of that browsing.

One of my favorite thrift stores. All profits go back to local Episcopal churches and are given to local and world-wide charities. Higher-end finds are frequent.
