Why you should visit the place I call home for a little peice of Heaven.
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
Katherine Lee Bates wrote these famous words atop Pikes Peak, over looking the beautiful city I call my home; Colorado Springs. I awake every morning to a view of the Rocky Mountains that takes my breath away. Whether covered in a blanked of powdery white snow, or framed by a crimson sunset; the view of the Peak reminds me why I love my home, and the majestic mountain tops that reach up to the clear blue skies assures me that there is a God. Every year thousands of people from around the globe flock to my " backyard" to grasp a peice of heaven. From the breathtaking scenery and the friendly locals, to the intriguing wildlife and unique boutiques, Colorado Springs has something for everyone. Nestled up against the Rocky Mountains and overlooking the golden plains there are plenty of activities for families, singles, dogs, young, old, and in between. You can hike the many scenic trails and mountain tops; bike, horseback ride, walk your dog, read, or picnic in parks, valleys, canyons, and near streams or ponds; find unique gifts in one of many little shops and boutiques; crawl through caves and watch for bats emerge for a late night snack; or simply take in the crisp mountain air as you relax under the vast blue skies. Whatever you call Heaven, I'm sure you can find here.
