COLORADO SPRINGS ONE DAY Travel Guide | BEST Things to Do, Eat & See

Colorado Springs is one of the most popular areas of Colorado for a fun-filled day trip. There is so much to see and do in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In this one-day travel guide, I’ll share with you some of the best things to do, eat and see in Colorado Springs. We’re taking exploring Old Colorado City, Manitou Springs, Garden of the God, driving to the top of Pikes Peak (the 2nd highest paved road in the USA), walking through cliff dwellings, hiking a waterfall that over 1000 ft high, and having dinner in an airplane. Colorado Springs has exquisite natural beauty and a great city to spend a full day exploring in Colorado. And since it’s only a one-hour drive from Denver makes it even more easy to enjoy a day trip to. Follow along as I share with you our complete one-day travel guide to Colorado Springs.

    1) Garden of the Gods. Early in the morning is best not only for parking and less crowd, but the sunlight from the east makes it more spectacular than mid-day or evening. 2) Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. A great zoo with a strenuous walk as it has a lot of elevation change, being on the side of a mountain. 3) USAFA. Scenic, patriotic, historic, cool stuff. 4) Cave of the Winds. Have to see it to believe it, no regrets. 5) Old Colorado City. The video says it. 6) Palmer Park. Hiking, scenic view 7) Shhhhh, don't tell anyone but Ute Valley Park is my actual #3. Quiet, beautiful, hardly anyone knows about it - till now. It was my childhood playground. 8) Lots of other things to see and do to. That is why it is such a popular tourist attraction.

    Our son lives in Colo Spgs and we’ve done all these things, even the airplane restaurant. Also exploring Old Colorado City (where Jives is located) is worthwhile. Lots of great shops! Downtown Manitou Springs is great too, more shopping. There are many fun places to go in the area: Woodland Park, Cripple Creek, Royal Gorge Railway, Pioneer Museum, Florissant Fossil Beds, Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, and many more. We love this town!

    Colorado resident here. I love the Colorado Springs area It has been a long time since I was up Pikes Peak, back then it was still a lot of dirt road which did add a little excitement.
  • @tallicafan85
    i was there end of may and it was so fun. did 5 days in a row hiking garden of the gods, cliff dwellings, 7 falls, pikes peak highway and the cog, the incline up and down and the caverns. so much fun there. cant wait to go back one day.
  • We live in Colorado Springs now. That was a lot for one day! I can't imagine how tired you guys were, when you finally settled down.

    I’m on a road trip with my best friend from California, tomorrow we are headed to springs, I worked in Colorado Springs back in 1998 upgrading the cable Tv system and visited some spots but it’s been almost 25 years since then, I’m so excited to see these places again thanks for the great video.
  • Very cool video thank you totally missed out on mesa Verde 😭 next year it's on happy travels
  • @jasonlavere5071
    We probably just missed you in the Springs. We went to Garden of the Gods on June 12 and up to Pike's Peak on June 13. My daughter seen as rattle snake as well at the garden, might have been you guys that warned them about it! Great videos! We used to some of your videos as research to see different things on our two week stay in Colorado.
  • Beautiful scenery, me and my family are moving there from Georgia in March 2023!
  • @Sungotti
    You convinced me to book a trip! Thanks so much for the detailed information!
  • @DerangedMMFWCL
    My wife and I will be going to Colorado Springs in August for our wedding anniversary! I’m very exited thank you for the video it was very well done 😊
  • @mghn0013
    Aw!! If you went to Seven Falls at night you would have witnessed the Falls lit up with colors! Def check it out next time you visit The Springs!
  • I'm hoping to go to Colorado next month, I really appreciate your videos 🥰

    I've just returned from Colorado, November/December 2022, my first ever, and it is so beautiful there. I went to Pikes Peak, via the Cog train and agree with @magdela, the time at the top is hideously short, around 45 minutes, so after you've been to bathroom, the restaurant, the gift shop, you have a tiny amount of time to take pictures and enjoy the view/summit.... Also, the summit restaurant had hardly anything to choose (last train on a Saturday). Great, great travel guide, I didn't do a lot of the things you mention, but I am returning in 2023, so will do them all then :) (PS - lived a mile from the Kissing Camels :) ).
