Information:Magnificent scenic beauty, a favorable climate, and
dreams of gold have lured visitors to Colorado Springs and
neighboring Pikes Peak Country for well over 100 years.In 1806,
army Lt. Zebulon Pike led a company of soldiers on a trek around
the base of an enormous mountain. He called it "Grand Peak,"
declared it unconquerable, and moved on. Today, the 14,110-foot
mountain we know as Pikes Peak has been conquered so often that an
auto highway and a cog railway take visitors to the top.Modern
Colorado Springs is a growing city of about 400,000, with more than
600,000 in the metropolitan area. The majority of its residents are
conservative, and the city is also home to some of the country's
largest nondenominational churches and conservative groups.To many
visitors, the city retains the feel and mood of a small Western
town. Most tourists come to see the Air Force Academy, marvel at
the scenery at Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak and explore the
history of America's West. Colorado Springs also has some of the
best lodging and dining in the state.Benefits Information:
