Lovers of the outdoors will find themselves in paradise, literally surrounded by trails, canyons, falls, parks and lakes. Opportunities abound for hiking, biking, skiing, hunting, fishing, ziplining, and more – and most within a 30-minute drive or less. This is beautiful country and there’s a lot to see, but visitors find two spots particularly awe-inspiring: the Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center, where dramatic sandstone rock formations stand 300 feet tall (20 minutes) and Pikes Peak, a/k/a “America’s Mountain,” providing unforgettable views at 14,115 feet (1 hour, 5 minutes). Kids of all ages love Woodland Park because it’s home to the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, a museum with an on-site lab (4 minutes). Woodland Park is also a regional commercial hub with plenty of shopping and casual dining. Forgot to pack something? You won’t have to go far to replace it.
