Broadmoor Outfitters Soaring Adventure
- Colorado Springs
- PLAN FOR: 3-4 HOURS
Who needs coffee when you can zip line your way through the gorgeous Colorado sky first thing in the morning? Start day one in Colorado Springs at The Broadmoor Outfitters Soaring Adventure, a rare and unique zip line attraction that guides you over the region’s most stunning bedrock and woodlands.
The Broadmoor Seven Falls
- Colorado Springs
- PLAN FOR: 2-3 HOURS
You’ve seen The Broadmoor Seven Falls from above, but now it’s time to explore the unforgettable natural wonder at ground level. As the name suggests, Seven Falls is a series of seven majestic waterfalls, located a little under a mile from The Broadmoor, and it is one of the most popular sites to visit in Colorado Springs. Known as “The Grandest Mile of Scenery in Colorado”, this resplendent cascade is nestled in the sky-scraping Pillars of Hercules, a 900- foot box canyon. You and your crew will certainly be in awe.
Flying W Ranch Chuckwagon
- Colorado Springs
- PLAN FOR: 2 HOURS
Founded in the early 1950s, the Flying W Ranch is one of most popular tourist destinations and entertainment venues in the Pikes Peak region, and we know why. All of the structures at the Flying W represent a core piece of western history, both in design and function. The informal buffet features hearty home-cooked BBQ, trail beans, foil-wrapped potato, biscuits, and applesauce — all served on a tin plate. Remember we said something about entertainment? After dinner, you can catch a show by the celebrated Flying W Wranglers, one of the world’s oldest western singing groups.

Westside Wonders
The West side is the best side, because that’s where Pikes Peak is!
Drive the Pikes Peak Highway
- Pikes Peak
- PLAN FOR: 3-5 HOURS
The 19-mile stretch of road runs from Cascade all the way to the summit of Pikes Peak and straight through the clouds. Ok, maybe it doesn’t go that far, but it does take you to the top of the mountain, which is a whopping 14,115 feet! The scenic, winding highway provides plenty of breathtaking views of the Pikes Peak region’s most notable natural wonders, including lakes, wildlife, and of course, those tree-covered peaks we like to call mountains.
Walk Around Historic Manitou Springs
- Manitou Springs
- PLAN FOR: 2-5 HOURS
Known by locals as Colorado Springs’ eclectic neighbor to the west, Manitou Springs is a quaint location for a wide-range of activities, from sight-seeing, shopping, and lots of outdoor fun. Walk about the art galleries and specialty boutiques downtown, stop by the Manitou Outpost for unique gifts, listen to some live music, or cool off and take a sip of the effervescent water from one of the many mineral springs that populate the scenic city.
Miramont Castle Museum
- Manitou Springs
- PLAN FOR: 1-2 HOURS
Ever wonder what life was like in Victorian era Colorado? Well, you can marvel at the splendid decor inside the 30 rooms that make up the Miramont Castle Museum, a building which puts a spotlight on Victorian history in Colorado and beyond. The name of the castle — yes, it’s a real castle — literally means “look at the mountain” (did we mention we love mountains in Colorado?)
When you’re finished touring the 14,000 square feet of the castle, you can borrow a fancy hat and indulge in a spot of tea or a homemade scone in the lush Queen’s Parlour Tearoom, a glass-encased room that provides a beautiful view of Colorado. Who knew history could be so fun and leave you feeling so fancy?
