Colorado Springs is located less than three hours from Rocky Mountain National Park. Home of Pikes Peak, you will find an endless mountain and river activities where you can enjoy our sunny, mild climate and spectacular scenery. Bike down Pikes Peak or take the cog railway to its summit. Raft through the Royal Gorge or peer over the Royal Gorge Bridge suspended 1,000 feet above the Arkansas River. Colorado Springs – the smart choice for 2010.
