From the top of Pikes Peak, Katherine Lee Bates penned the lyrics to “America the Beautiful.” She saw the majesty from the summit; we usually find the splendor from its base. Colorado Springs was founded in 1871 and grew heartily after General Palmer installed the railroad. People first came for the climate, healing and gold. Today, 700,000 residents kindle the heart of prime Colorado Springs communities.

Recreation
The sun shines upon Colorado Springs more than 300 days of the year, encouraging a variety of recreational and leisure activities. The Alpine desert climate gives us just enough rain and snow to remind us we have four seasons. The average humidity is 51.5 percent. This lends itself to mountain hikes, mountain biking, fishing, and plenty of games and sports.
Attractions and Activities
Whether you plan to visit local attractions often or simply to tour with your houseguests, there will always be interesting places to show. The landmark United States Air Force Academy sits right along a major hiking and biking trail that runs north/south through the area. It passes the Garden of the Gods where you find red rock formations. Children enjoy visits to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and Seven Falls Park.
Over 150 city and state parks add to the beauty of Colorado Springs. Seasoned trails lead through many of them, including horse trails. You’ll be able to explore the Great Outdoors in larger ones like Pulpit Rock Park, Palmer Park, Pikes Peak Recreation Area, and North Slope Recreation Area. Then, it may be time to head out for whitewater rafting in Canyon or alpine skiing and fly-fishing in the High Country. 
Education and Economy
Good public and private schools feed into robust options for higher education. More than a handful of colleges and universities present residents with a variety of options. These schools feed into the needs of local employers and large companies. The equation feeds many sectors of the Colorado Springs economy.
