There’s always something new to learn.
Colorado Springs isn’t just a gateway to the mountains — it’s a revelation in its own right. From the crimson rock spires of Garden of the Gods to the storied steps of the Olympic Training Center, this is a city that runs on awe, altitude, and adrenaline. It’s where history hikes beside you, where air force jets paint the sky, and where the pace of life slows just enough to remind you that wonder isn’t reserved for postcards.
Whether you’re road-tripping through the Front Range or discovering what 6,000 feet above sea level does to your senses, Colorado Springs leaves an imprint that sticks — one trail, one view, one story at a time.
Let’s see what we discover.
Things you didn’t know about Colorado Springs.
5. Nikola Tesla had a secret lab here.
In 1899, Tesla set up a lab in Colorado Springs to experiment with wireless electricity. It’s said he produced man-made lightning visible for miles — no big deal.
4. It’s one of the sunniest places in the U.S.
Colorado Springs averages over 300 days of sunshine a year — perfect for the hikers, bikers, and wanderers who call its trails home.
3. Garden of the Gods was a gift to the people.
The iconic red rock park was donated in 1909 by the Perkins family with one condition: it must always remain free to the public. And it still is.
2. It’s home to the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum.
Opened in 2020, this interactive museum celebrates Team USA’s greatest moments — with exhibits designed to be inclusive, immersive, and world-class.
1. Pikes Peak inspired “America the Beautiful.”
Katharine Lee Bates penned the famous poem after standing atop Pikes Peak in 1893. Today, you can still drive, hike, or ride the Cog Railway to the summit that sparked a national anthem.
