This is where Colorado Springs all began. Enjoy shopping, dinner and drinks while you make your way around Old Colorado City. Some nights there is live music in Bancroft Park. Also, visit the Creamery for some delicious ice cream!

Manitou is where all your Colorado hippies hang out. This place always has a chill vibe with tourists. You'll find many local musicians playing some tunes and artists coloring up the sidewalk with chalk. They also have a penny arcade (unfortunately, it isn't a penny) that always provides many families or couples with hours of fun! They also have henna tattoos!

Parks & Nature

I love this location because it is nearby and there are trail maps so visitors will not get lost. If you hike in far enough, you'll find a little lake that is absolutely beautiful. This place is pet friendly and offers some off-leash dog trails. Be sure to bring water and snacks if you plan on hiking a while.

This place is absolute zen. If you need some relax time, just head on over. Very peaceful, very quiet and very relaxing. They have mineral pool hot tubs to soak in and offer massages and yoga. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're here for longer than two days. It's worth the 2 hours of down time.
