On the foothills of the Rockies, Colorado Springs offers a multitude of outdoor activities from hiking and cycling to whitewater rafting and rock climbing. The city also attracts hundreds of business travelers a year due to military bases and a large number of tech companies. When in Colorado Springs, make sure to visit Garden of the Gods, drive up to Pikes’s Peak, and hike to Helen Hunt Falls.
