About
The history of Colorado Springs is rooted in the Gold Rush of the mid-1800’s. Here at the eastern foot of the Rockies you’ll still find evidence of wealthy mine owners in the grand victorian homes near Cheyenne Mountain, as well as the eclectic and frontiersman’s spirit of the miners down in the foothills and surrounding plains. With more than 300 days of glorious sunshine a year, the dry climate and mellow seasons promote an extremely active lifestyle. Locals and tourists alike enjoy year-round outdoor recreation.
