Things to Do in Colorado Springs

What should you do with your luggage once you get to “The Springs”? Drop it off at your Colorado Springs accommodation and be on your way to the Garden of the Gods, a public park full of towering red rock formations. Some of the famous formations in the park include the Three Graces, Cathedral Valley and the Balancing Rock. The latter makes for a great photo opportunity…as long as the rock stays balanced.

After you’re done staring at rocks, head to the ProRodeo Hall of Fame and check out “the only museum in the world dedicated to the sport of rodeo”. Check out the Hall of Champions where legendary cowboys and horses are enshrined. You won’t be able to stop yourself from screaming “Yippee ki yay!” as you make your way past the exhibits.

Getting to and Around Colorado Springs

Your flight to The Springs will land at Colorado Springs Airport (COS), 10km from the downtown district. You can head outside and hail a taxi or catch a bus to the city centre. Many of the Colorado Springs hotels have their own shuttle services you can use to get to and from COS.

If you really want to act like a boss, you can arrange a limousine to scoop you up after your flight. And there’s always the option of getting a vehicle from lastminute.co.nz’s Colorado Springs car hire options.
