A Local’s List of the 9 Best Hiking Spots in Colorado Springs!
Hello everyone! I’m excited to write today’s post…one could say I’ve done a lot of research on it! I’ve lived here off and on for a total of 4.5 years, and even though I would never imply that I’ve “seen it all”, I most definitely have hiked my little heart out in and around most of Colorado Springs. Unfortunately, my hiking has been derailed a lot these past several months due to the record-breaking snowfall the state has received! I’m so excited that it’s now July and hiking season is fully upon us! While I may not be a Colorado native, I am definitely a Colorado Springs local, and I…

Hiking in Colorado Springs: Spruce Mountain Open Space
I’m not sure if you’ve picked up on this, but I pretty well love hiking and being outdoors! I also love having a three day work week because I can hike on weekdays and avoid the massive weekend crowd in the Springs!

Hiking to the Reservoirs in Palmer Lake, CO

I can tell you that four 12’s in a row will quickly wear you out and quite possibly make you hate your life just a little bit. Lucky for me I was super active this past week, so I had memories of several hiking trails to sustain me through my workdays!! One of the trails I hiked with my little family this past week was in Palmer Lake, CO…which is on the northwest outskirts of Colorado Springs. This is such a beautiful area to go hiking in!!! I love the diversity of evergreens…and when…

Climb Colorado Spring’s Pulpit Rock
Have I ever told y’all how much I love living in Colorado?? New Mexico and Texas have their good qualities, but they don’t really compare to the Rockies, if ya know what I mean! Today’s hike is a little different in the fact that it’s not in the mountains, but right in the middle of a shopping area in Colorado Springs! Pulpit Rock is found in central Colorado Springs off I-25, right in the middle of the city! The above picture was actually taken from Nevada St, to give an idea of how close it is to shopping! This is a pretty cool hike and I definitely recommend it to…
