This is the iconic mountain in Colorado Springs. If you are new to the high altitude, we don't recommend hiking the trail, but luckily they have the Cog Mountain Railway to take you to the top instead!

This is a really cool hidden gem. After being refused by the art world for wanting to commercialize his work, this artist opened his own shop which showcases a miniature city from back in the day. For $5 admission ($3 for kids), you get popcorn, a scavenger hunt and can explore the town as long as you like. It's really intricate and full of surprises including optical illusions and talking projections. We highly recommend checking it out!
