Colorado Springs Colorado - Introduction
Located near the center of the state, Colorado Springs is the
second-largest city in Colorado, with half a million people living in
the metro area. Under the snow-capped majesty of Pike's Peak at the
edge of the Rockies, Colorado Springs provides a less-crowded
alternative to Denver with the same level of services.
A number of natural wonders are only minutes from downtown Colorado
Springs. The unique sandstone formations at Garden of the Gods are
free to explore and within the city limits. A cog railroad takes
visitors to the top
of Pike's Peak for spectacular views of Colorado in every direction.
The Manitou cliff dwellings, Cave of the Winds, and Florissant Fossil
Beds are among the other nearby attractions.
Colorado Springs is in central Colorado, between Denver and Pueblo
along I-25.
