Who has been re-enforcing what we Coloradans already know? Read on as we discuss why Colorado Springs is being called one of the best places to visit in not only the country but the world:
Recently released by the New York Times is the list of the 52 Places To Go In 2020, which names the likes of the British Virgin Islands, Greenland, and - you guessed it - Colorado Springs.
Coming in at #13, the New York Times cites how the "new Olympics museum is only one draw" to visiting the Springs, noting other reasons like its world-class food scene, iconic landmarks and attractions, and the city's fascinating history.
Incorporated in 1886, Colorado Springs has always played a vital role in the state's economy, beginning with both Pike's Peak gold and Cheyenne Mountain coal, which brought an influx of new residents and families looking for work.
As previously mentioned, Colorado Springs is also a foodie's paradise, with a huge list of places to eat ranging from the quirky Rabbit Hole to the European-inspired Edelweiss to Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl and Grill, which is a one-of-a-kind beach restaurant and bowling alley!
