We’ve had a pretty normal winter in some ways. Other than a cold start to the month, it has been pretty much in the 40′s, and very little snow, and lots of sunshine. We are finally due for another snow event on Sunday – Monday (maybe just in time for the Super Bowl?), so I’ve [...]

I attended a funeral this afternoon that was kind of a bummer, so decided I needed some sunshine and fresh air. Thankfully, that is something you can get plenty of without going very when you live in Colorado Springs. I took a little hike at Austin Bluffs Park, just east of the University of Colorado [...] When you drive I25 in Colorado Springs, Pulpit Rock is a very clear and distinguishing landmark near where the new Costco is on North Nevada. What isn’t so obvious, is that it is actually part of a gorgeous (though pretty much undeveloped) park. The trailhead is actually pretty hard to find, on a frontage road right where [...] When you are living in Colorado Springs, one of the first things you come to appreciate is that Colorado Springs has some really great parks. Among them is Palmer Park, located in the center of the city. Saturday (actually the whole weekend) the weather was so nice and mild (50′s) I had to get out [...] The Chapel Hills Mall in Colorado Springs is going through a bit of a hard time right now. The mall operator, General Growth, is still working on emerging from a chapter 11 bankruptcy, and so some of the mall is not in the best of shape. In particular the Carmike theaters at Chapel Hills have [...] Yesterday I went skiing up at Copper Mountain with my nephew. I like to get up skiing during the 1st week of the year, usually after the holiday crowds have left. This is usually a quieter work week, and provides a little excuse for some exercise after all of the holiday eating. The snow was pretty [...] We went to hear the Christmas Classics concert this afternoon at the Pikes Peak Center, and it was really nice. The Colorado Springs Childrens Chorale and the Gospel Music Workshop joined the Philharmonic in a great seasonal mix of music. The day was sunny and 50ish, not a bad one to be out and about [...] My wife is accusing me of becoming a Facebook junky, and she’s probably right. One of the things I noticed however, since signing up, is how many different things there are to do around Colorado Springs that people find. Here are some examples that I’ve seen or heard about people doing in the past week [...]

Colorado Springs has a great walking and biking trail network. Yesterday we walked a piece of the Pikes Peak Greenway / Front Range Trail / New Santa Fe Trail from the trailhead near I25 and Woodmen Road. This piece of trail has so many names because so many different entities seem to have jurisdiction, and [...]

When you live in Colorado Springs, you don’t have to use up a LOT of gas to get out and have some fun in the outdoors. Yesterday we took part of our holiday weekend to do a hike up at the Florissant Fossil beds National Monument, and then stopped in Cripple Creek for a [...] |
