With vast, rolling plains to the east and Pikes Peak towering at 14,000 feet to the west, Colorado Springs is enveloped in glory. Magnificent red sandstone pinnacles at the base of the mountain have been dubbed appropriately, Garden of the Gods. The city itself — the second largest in Colorado — is adorned with beautiful Victorian homes and turn-of-the-century buildings. Once known as a Gold Town, Colorado Springs now boasts something for everyone, from the arts buff to the outdoorsman. Popular family attractions include Pikes Peak Ghost Town, Old Colorado City, and Manitou Springs. Gorgeous views of the Continental Divide can be seen from the Manitou & Pikes Peak Cog Railway. The city is also home to the US Air Force Training Center and the US Olympic Training Center.
