Sight Seeing in Colorado


I've lived here in Colorado since July 1st and in Colorado Springs since the end of September. There is a lot to see and do here but even though I may have an outgoing personality with strangers, I don't like to go places alone. I recently had a friend from Kansas come over for a weekend and show me a few things to see. Thanks Gary for being such a good friend and showing me so many things. We went to a glass blowing company in Manitou Springs and spent 2 hours looking and I'm sure I didn't see everything. We then took the cog ride to the top of Pike's Peak. Unfortunately, the weather at the top was bad with winds and snow so we didn't get to have a clear view of the surrounding area. We took so many pictures and spent a couple hours that night uploading to a website and to my pc. Sunday, we went to Garden of the Gods and spent over 4 hour driving around as well as walking on some of the pathways. We then went to the Manitou Cliff Dwellings and spent about an hour or so there. Next stop we went to Cave of the Winds and enjoyed it the tour guide and the tours. We didn't have enough time to go to Seven Falls or the Zoo. Those are things I will go to alone. I can't wait for family and friends come visit and see all there is to see. This summer, my best friend is coming and we're going to go fishing and camping again only this time in Colorado and not in Wyoming. I bought a fly fishing rod and need to learn how to fly fish before he comes here. Guess I need to get a Colorado driver's license too so I can get a fishing license.
