If you are in search of spectacular and dramatic natural beauty on your holidays to Colorado, come down to Colorado Springs. This once sleepy resort has metamorphosed into the state’s second largest city and a prime tourist hub.
To the west of Colorado Springs, looms the majestic and rugged peaks of the Rockies, and straddling its contours are skiing slopes with various gradients to suit diverse skills. To the east of Colorado Springs, vast swathes of plains seem to stretch for an eternity, and nestled in its midst are beautiful golfing greens. The Arkansas River thunders through the gorges and makes for wild white-water rafting opportunities. Colorado Springs is a Nature lover’s paradise, a Mecca for the outdoor sports enthusiast, and a haven for the sun-loving tourist who wants nothing more than to be able to pause, sit back, and let beauty engulf his senses.
