You can drive all the way up to Pikes Peak Mountain and see mountains for miles!

Old Colorado City: This is a smaller, quaint downtown with places to eat, drink, and shop. It is a nice downtown to walk around.<a href="https://www.shopoldcoloradocity.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.shopoldcoloradocity.com/</a> Manitou Arcades: This is an arcade with old arcade games from olden times to the 2000s.
