Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs offers stunning natural beauty at the Rockies' base, featuring Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, and outdoor adventure, combined with Olympic spirit (Training Center, Museum), military presence (Air Force Academy), and a growing culinary scene, making it a popular, family-friendly city known for sunshine, recreation, and quality of life, despite some housing cost concerns.

We went to the Garden of the Gods with John's parents and his brothers. The Garden of the Gods is home to a plethora of geological and ecological rarities that make the park a prime site for nature lovers. From the discovery of a new species of dinosaur, to a subspecies of honey ant not previously recorded, this park is home to countless flora and fauna.
