For almost 20 years I have been driving past (and literally under) Loveland Ski Area on my way from Colorado Springs to the larger resorts of Summit County, just over the hill. How silly some of that driving really was! While Loveland is not as large as the more well known Summit County resorts of [...]

This past weekend we drove up to Divide and Cripple Creek for our annual fix of fall colors. Only an hour or so from Colorado Springs, this is a very popular local area for color tours. The trees did not disappoint. 2010 has been a dry sunny fall, and the leaves were pretty much at peak [...] I love the fall in Colorado Springs. Cooler mornings, clear crisp air, and golden aspens make this a special time of year. One of the big treats is the changing of the leaves. It is a different experience every year, and every elevation. Some years a wind storm can come and blow it all away [...] OK, it isn’t really new if you listen to the geologists, they talk millions of years, right? But access by the general Colorado Springs hiking and biking public to this southern extension of the Garden of the Gods rock formations has not been that long (since 2003). For a more complete history, visit Red Rocks [...] One of the highlights of Colorado Springs community calendar is the annual Labor Day balloon festival. While we did not make it to this years Colorado Balloon Classic, it is such colorful event, and so memorable, I couldn’t help but bring out some photos of the 2008 event that I attended with my grandson Tyler.

It is really pretty rural, but the fact is that most of Teller County lives in the shadow of Colorado Springs economically, and as part of our Multiple Listing Service (MLS) area, deserves some coverage of its own from time to time. [...] We took a mid-week day off yesterday, and my wife and I headed up to Breckenridge for a little R&R. Living in Colorado Springs has some great advantages, and one of them is the ability to go to some really nice places in a pretty short amount of time. Breckenridge is about a 2 hour [...] Yes, I know the 4th of July was yesterday. But if I was a day late wishing you a Happy Birthday, you’d still take it it, wouldn’t you? The 4th has always been special to me here in Colorado Springs. When we first moved here 19 years ago, we were so impressed with how the [...] There are many great places to go in the summer. After all, with school out, and the weather warm, this is the travelling season. But of all the places I’ve been in the summer, Colorado is still my favorite. The warm days, cool nights, and limitless menu of activities make this a great place live [...] Today is the Air Force Academy graduation. Yesterday the skies were so clear you could have watched the impressive air show the Thunderbirds put on from 10 miles away. But this morning, the humidity is up, there is some cloud cover, and thunderstorms in the forecast, so who knows how it all goes? Whether or [...] |
