Part of the American Wildwest, Colorado Springs was part of the Gold Rush before being formally established as a tourist town. Over the years, it has gained prominence for its military presence and high-tech manufacturing. 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.

10. Independent suite surrounded by mountains (from USD 161)
This cozy guest suite is part of a larger house but comes with a separate entrance as well as separate heating and air-conditioning unit. Set a little on the outskirts, you are surrounded by mountains and large open spaces and might even spot some wild animals wandering by. From here the Broadmoor Seven Falls and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo are just 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) away, while other attractions are within a 20-minute drive.
There are unbelievable weekly discounts at this suite. This unit as well as the surrounding area is on an incline, so you need to be prepared. But when you are surrounded by mountains, it is expected, so strap on your hiking boots and explore the gorgeous surroundings.
