The Petrified Ancient Redwoods at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument are near Cripple Creek and worth a look if in the area.
Watched a concert at red rocks it was worth the experience! great time! Also another great video!
Heck yeah!! We're going to a Red Rocks concert next May and cant wait. It will be fun!
Man, this makes me emotional. Fell absolutely in love with Colorado (and someone there!). Moving permanently in around a year. Terrified but so excited.
Sounds like you have an incredible time ahead of you. I find moving is an easy way to reinvent yourself and create new habits and lifestyle. Take advantage of it and have fun and good luck!
This is exactly why I'm researching Colorado! Gonna Hopefully move up there soon! Best of luck!

You could do Pikes Peak, Manitou Springs and Garden of the Gods in one awesome day. Start with Pikes Peak (9am) since they close early, spend lunch in Manitou Springs and finish the day at the Garden of the Gods - the low afternoon/sunset sun makes those red sandstone formations look amazing. You still have time for dinner back in town.
👆 This is a good itinerary suggestion.
Just be aware Garden of the Gods can get get crowded as can Manitou, especially on weekends during peak season.
Planning on visiting in December :) ty for the video
Have fun!
Thanks

If you’re active duty or a veteran you can go to national parks for free. Just to let the fellow veterans know
Great tip, thanks so much for sharing!
Pikes Peak is not in the city limits of Colorado Springs.
