Then if you're feeling it, trek up Pikes Peak for breathtaking views. If you're an animal lover, you'll enjoy the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo if you like rodeo, head to the ProRodeo Hall of Fame. The United States Air Force Academy is located here--that comes sights like the National Museum of World War II Aviation. The Ghost Town Museum is one-of-a-kind and worth a visit as well. Note that many attractions here are scattered, so it helps to book a car rental in Colorado Springs.
The Canon City Music and Blossom Festival in May, Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo in July, and the Greek Festival in August are some of the many events going on throughout the year.
