Taking a trip to Pikes Peak is amazing. You can either take the cog railway out of Manitou Springs or you can drive. Either was is awesome. Make sure that you take coats. You will be at an elevation of over 14,000ft and the temperature is MUCH colder up there. We took the cog once and it was 82 at the bottom and in the 20s at the top.

There's a very nice path. If you have the time, try Willow Creek Dining Company, right across the street. They have very good food and sitting outside looking at the lake is beautiful. Campfire restaurant is also great.

Great road trip, especially in the fall when the aspens have changed color. Fun mining / western town with cute little shops, lots of casinos, and a mine that I've heard goes 1000 ft down. We have not done the mine tour but have heard that people love it, especially kids.

This is a fantastic zoo built in to the side of Cheyenne Mountain. Our favorite part of the zoo is feeding the giraffes. They have a lovely Christmas light show at Christmas time.
