Best of Colorado Springs

U.S. Air Force Academy

You can find it in a beautiful area of Colorado, just outside Colorado Springs. The campus is an inspiring place. The part that is the most impressive is the Cadet Chapel. There is a nature trail that leads there, and it is a great piece of architecture. The exterior is formed of 17 spires that rise up towards the heavens. Inside the building, there are several different chapels for different denominations, and each is designed and decorated accordingly.

Pikes Peak

Another wonderful destination is the Pikes Peak, which looms above the city to the west. The US Signal Service built a telegraph station, in 1873, at the summit of the mountain with the help of which they monitor the weather in the area. Katherine Lee Bates took to its summit in 1895 and was so moved by what she saw, she penned the words to the immortal song, “America the Beautiful.”. You can reach the top with the help of the Manitou & Pikes Peak Cog Railway.
