Visiting Info appreiciated (Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, Breckenridge: hotel, garden, activities)

[Ashleyv]

hello all,
I am from St. Louis and was considering relocating. I have been to Crested Butte, CO and fell in love with Colorado. The people, the scenery, the activities, I had a wonderful time. I wanted to visit Colorado Springs and just wanted some input on things to see and do. I am definatley going to ski!! If my visit was as enjoyable as last time, I might struggle to return to St. Louis.

If skiing, your best bet from Colorado Springs possibly Breckenridge via US 24, thence CO 9. Once in Summit County you have your choice of excellent ski areas in close proximity.

Certainly lots of options while visiting Colorado Springs. Three you might consider would be the Broadmoor Hotel, Garden of the Gods, and the nearby town of Manitou Springs.
