The Pikes Peak Region is full of history and outdoor adventure! The Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes would gather in what is now known as the Garden of the Gods Recreation Area, a National Landmark; American prospectors arrived in 1859, creating the Pikes Peak gold rush; and in 1871, General William Jackson Palmer founded Colorado Springs as a resort town. If your family is like mine, heading to a city's downtown to explore is a vacation must!
